Dubbed the “world’s first classical music hooligan“, you’d do well to expect the unexpected from Rainer Hersch and his Classic Comedy Orchestra.

Whether you are a professor of music or couldn’t tell a string quartet from a string vest, Hersch and his fellow performers guarantee a laugh every four bars.

The Radio 4 star and his madcap band mates have been a hit at the Edinburgh festival and across Europe with their cocktail of comedy and classical song.

From the William Tell Overture to Land of Hope and Glory, nothing is safe in the hands of these virtuosos.

Rainer Hersch’s Classic Comedy Overture is at The Wyllyotts Theatre, Darkes Lane, Potters Bar on March 19 at 8pm. Details: 01707 645005
