Derrière on a G String is a riotous new comedy that turns the world gloriously upside down. Set to some of the most famous pieces ever written, this fast-paced show unleashes a wildly inventive sequence of visual sketches packed with physical comedy, outrageous characters, and moments of deliciously naughty mischief. Think the anarchic spirit of Laurel and Hardy, the surreal silliness of Mr Bean, and the sharp comic timing of Mitchell and Webb – all colliding in a gleefully ridiculous celebration of life’s most awkward, absurd, and unexpectedly intimate moments.
Created by Some Smith and Moore, this original 75-minute show tells its stories without words, using movement, timing, and impeccable comic invention to transform familiar music into some thing wildly playful and completely unpredictable.
Part slapstick, part visual comedy, and entirely cheeky, Derrière on a G String promises an evening of laugh-out-loud chaos that leaves both classical music and good taste happily dishevelled.
