Rap-Jazz-Comedy Duo Harry & Chris Take Their Brand New Show on a Nationwide Tour
By: Emily Bruno Sep. 28, 2017
Following their second Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Leicester Comedy Festival Award nominated duo Harry & Chris will embark on a nationwide tour from 14th September to 30th December with the brand new and aptly-titled Harry & Chris Show 2.
This Autumn also sees Harry & Chris continue their monthly showcase Joyride, featuring themselves, a house band and favorite guests from the world of comedy, music and poetry at Platform in Southwark, which culminates with a Harry & (Chris)tmas special at the Leicester Square Theatre on the 13th December.
Championing unadulterated fun in an increasingly down trodden world, the pair will perform renditions on topics including the delights of time travel, robot wars and the survival of the panda bear in their second hour of tightly-written, fast-paced and tongue-in-cheek lyrics set to be rapped over soulful melodies.
Below, check out a video of Harry & Chris in action with a song announcing the tour:
World Poetry Slam champion, Performance poet (and maths student) Harry Baker's poem about prime numbers has been shared on TED.com and has been translated into 20 different languages with a combined viewership of 3 million along with his other 4 TEDx talks. Harry's blistering wordplay ***** (Three Weeks) has seen him coined as 'a champion' by Ed Sheeran, 'a show stealer' by Scroobius Pip and Scott Mills described a performance on his BBC Radio 1 show as 'the greatest thing I've ever seen'. Harry's debut anthology, The Sunshine Kid was published with Burning Eye in 2014 and a subsequent show of the same name was voted Best Spoken Word show of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015.
