Mr. & Mr. Burn

Video

Meet Mr. & Mr. Burn, an explosive, chaotic, offbeat double act with a touch of disaster about them. One part strange function room musician, the other part, the not so tuneful crooner. Listen as they fill the air with some sweet swinging, brass heavy music, performed from their small but decadent mobile bandstand. But will they get through their concert without setting their whole world on fire?

This new solo show from Ramshacklicious is built around a darkly comic, musical world containing original live and looped music played on trombone, tuba, baritone uke and electronic drums. Into this mix add contemporary clowning, physical theatre, puppetry, bespoke set design, fire and pyrotechnics. Creating a world of surprises where anything can and will go wrong!
