In 1698 Thomas d'Urfey published the smash-hit book of comic songs, Wit and Mirth. David William Hughes sings some of them, some of his own, and some of yours which he'll make up for you. 'A hoot, a bawdy entertainment, and a display of consummate musicianship which brings tears to the eyes both of laughter and sadness' **** (ScotsGay.co.uk). 'Hilarious' **** (FringeGuru.com). 'A witty gem' **** (MusicalTalk). 'Accomplished musicality and bawdy ribaldry' **** (The730Review.co.uk). **** (Advertiser, Adelaide).

"I was put on its trail by an audience member who I got chatting to in Edinburgh last year, and when I found a copy of the book and started reading it I was enthralled."
