‘When you’re up to your neck in shit – it’s no use hanging your head’
Your late-night host at the piano takes a sharp look at international current affairs and life’s absurdities through the lens of Tom Lehrer’s shockingly timely songs. A morbid evening of satire and music. Caspar’s Danish grandma used to say: ‘When you’re up to your neck in shit – it’s no use hanging your head’.
The show has played in Danish in Copenhagen on and off for the past five years as well as touring Denmark – this is the English language premiere.
Caspar Phillipson is a Danish/British actor who works internationally, based in Copenhagen.
Created by Caspar Phillipson, songs by Tom Lehrer.
“fabulous piano playing, biting humour,
clever writing, soaring vocals,
and all-around charm
with Danish film and TV star Caspar Phillipson.”
