2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Multi-award-winning comedian Tim FitzHigham and BBC Radio 4 Showstopper! star Duncan Walsh Atkins are back with a brand new selection of songs and silliness from Flanders and Swann, the much-loved musical masters of the 1950s and 60s, in an anniversary celebration of which the masters would be proud: the 55th anniversary show.

Alongside famed classics such as Mud Mud Glorious Mud and Gnu, the duo present a wealth of songs not previously performed at Edinburgh. After five sell-out festival runs and performances around the globe, this August they attempt Flanders and Swann's most technically difficult number - a feat they have never dared before.

It is 55.5 years ago since Michael Flanders OBE and Donald Swann first took to the stage together, creating songs that would pass into musical legend with their anarchic sense of humour, wordplay and fun. It is ten years since Tim FitzHigham and Duncan Walsh Atkins created their homage to the greatest heroes of musical comedy in history. They have since played summer music festivals, toured the UK and Europe, released an album and constantly delight fans and newcomers alike at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Tim FitzHigham is also performing his solo show Gambler and a show for children with Tiernan Douieb during the festival.
