IT takes a couple of swells to make the show, A Couple of Swells, a hit.
And that’s exactly what music lovers can expect when Joe Stilgoe and Liza Pulman take to the stage.
The pair are a musical match made in theatrical heaven when they team up to perform a host of all-time favourite standards and some classic duets, sprinkled with heaps of panache and a whole lot of dazzle.
Liza’s thirty-year career has encompassed music, theatre and comedy, from Glyndebourne Opera through West End musical theatre and as one-third of the British satirical comedy group, Fascinating Aida.
Joe Stilgoe is an internationally acclaimed singer, pianist and songwriter, known for writing songs that feel like classics, and adapting classics so they sound like they’ve just been written. Growing up surrounded by music – his parents are songwriter and TV personality Richard Stilgoe and opera singer Annabel Hunt – Joe’s career extends across theatre, TV and radio. He currently has a show on Jazz FM.
If this talented pair needed a review, there is none better than that from Dawn French who after seeing the show, commented on her Instagram: Saw this last night. It is SO good.”
