2010 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

In The Illegal Tour, Kev Orkian is an Armenian immigrant who speaks little English and is desperately trying to stay in the UK to fulfill his one love... playing the piano. Think Jools Holland meets Manuel from Fawlty Towers, the character is based loosely on his Armenian mother, who really does speak English with a broken accent and frequently misinterprites what is being said.

Kev Orkian will have you on the floor with his hilarious anecdotes and routines, and you'll be awe-struck at his sheer skill and dexterity on the piano.

Kev Orkian is one of the UK's most talented up-and-coming entertainers. He has recently performed with global opera star Katherine Jenkins, sold out his one-man show in theatres around the world and HRH Prince Charles described him as an "Absolute Genius". A highly skilled pianist, singer and actor, Kev Orkian's act has been honed to perfection over many years, from his days as a classically trained concert pianist to performing stand-up comedy as the support act to some of the biggest names in British comedy. He blends his unique off-beat humour with sensational performances on the piano and has been dubbed one of the world's finest comedy pianists.

Kev Orkian's debut appearance at this year's Edinburgh Fringe is not to be missed!
