2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

So what happens when you kidnap the Chancellor George Osborne and hide him in your cellar? Well Matt Tiller is about to tell you. And, yes, we are in this together.

Based (partly) on a true story, quirky musical comic Matt Tiller presents Just Du-et, his fourth hour-long show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Through a collection of songs, rants, one-liners and harmonic interaction to make your heart and mouth sing, Matt cleverly unveils the series of peculiar events which lead from his first encounter with George Osborne and the 'incident' at University through to an opportunistic kidnapping of the now Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Equipped with a guitar, a gravelly singing voice and an offbeat sense of humour, he figures out why he has a dislike - no hatred - for ex-public school, Oxbridge, smug-faced Tory boy types who give the impression that they were born to rule. When the fact is Matt went to Public School and Oxford, just like George. It's just he's preferred to keep that a secret until now.

Back at Just the Tonic at the Caves for a second year with his unique brand of musical comedy this loveable, guitar-thrashing comic returns with incredible new material which will have the audience laughing and singing along at the same time. But, don't forget, just like Jay-Z and Keys, Elton and Kiki Dee, Renée and Renato, we are in this together.
