🎭 Performing Satire and Dark Humour

Making people laugh is one thing. Making them laugh while delivering razor-sharp social commentary is something else entirely.

The songs of Allan Sherman and Tom Lehrer are witty, intelligent, mischievous and, at times, deliciously dark. Performing them means finding just the right balance between humour, irony and sincerity – and that’s what makes them such a joy to bring to life.

🎭 Why this show?

Every show has a story… and this one has two 👯

What was it that inspired writer-director Larry Dobin to bring together the lives and songs of Allan Sherman and Tom Lehrer? What made these two brilliant satirists the perfect pairing?

In this short clip, Larry shares the spark behind The Kings of Satire and why these songs have stayed with him for so many years.

If you love clever lyrics, razor-sharp wit and a fascinating glimpse into two extraordinary musical minds, this is an afternoon not to be missed.
