Mitch Benn: Don't Fear The Reaper

Mitch Benn: Don’t Fear The Reaper
UK TOUR 2017
WINNER of BBC 2’s Celebrity Mastermind.

It’s been a morbid time for “the country’s leading musical satirist” (The Times); he’s turned 46 – over the hill by anyone’s standards – his personal life is in turmoil, and his childhood heroes are dropping like flies. At times like these, a man feels the Reaper creeping up on him… But is death anything to fear? And is it really the end? (Yes. Yes, it is, sorry!) Mitch confronts his – and YOUR – mortality with hilarious (and tuneful) consequences. Join him! It’s time you’re not getting back!

“Intelligent and funny writing both of music and gags… a must see show” One4Review

“Well crafted, well sung, his songs are just plain funny”
The Guardian
“Song after song of exquisitely crafted satire”
The Scotsman
