Musical clowns Släpstick present Schërzo, classical music as you've never experienced it before.
The acclaimed musical clowns Släpstick are bringing their hit show Släpstick: Schërzo to London for the first time. The group will perform at the prestigious Wilton’s Music Hall in London this autumn, following a successful world premiere at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 with their delightful and hilarious show that can be enjoyed by international audiences.
This is classical music as you’ve never experienced it before. The award-winning Släpstick bring a unique brand of mischief where physical theatre, world class musicians and raucous humour collide in this uproarious music production. Masterpieces from Rossini, Brahms, Schubert, Saint-Saëns, Gershwin, and more, meet comedy heroes such as Victor Borge, Laurel & Hardy, Danny Kaye, and Charlie Chaplin. Expect Schubert in a ventriloquy battle with Beethoven, a speed demon on the double bass and Släpstick’s popular ‘21 masterpieces in 1 minute’. In classical music, a scherzo is a vigorous, light or playful composition, which Släpstick play on in their whimsical show that will leave audiences in stitches.
No one is safe from buffoonery in this clownish concerto – not bewigged classical composer, nor magnum opus, as Släpstick take on composers and comedians alike for a riotous night of music and mayhem!
