Hideous Gomphidius are David and Anna, a cabaret duo based in London, who perform, amongst other things, the music of Tom Lehrer, Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weill and numerous jazz standards (SING ALONG IF YOU MUST!).
Mostly it’s just a stream of consciousness with a bunch of camp comedy showtunes (Avenue Q, Spamalot…you get the idea)
We are motivated by the desire to candidly communicate our darkest desires and highest hopes with an audience who can recognise themselves in our experiences.
Shows include: Memories and Souvenirs, Laughing at YOUR Misfortune, Weimar Worship and now, The Men That Got Away: Music, Monologues, Men and More….
The Men That Got Away: Music, Monologues, Men and More….
A delicious assortment of jazz standards, camp comedy showtunes and a melange of monologues about modern life.
Watch as one man musically delves into open wounds and rubs lemon juice on scars left by bizarre encounters, crazy lovers and secret obsessions
Memories and Souvenirs:
A sentimental and bittersweet collection of songs and stories celebrating love and loss. Classic Jazz, French song and original music by Anna Blondsky & Jose Promis
Laughing at YOUR Misfortune:
Camp and Colourful Criticism of Contemporary Society….pop culture, cybersex, eating disorders and unrequited love with intelligent insight from Professor Otto Fellatio.
Weimar Worship:
Cleanse your filthy soul with a Spiritual Singalong.
