I Like Bananas

I Like Bananas is a celebration of British Music Hall jazz. Fronted by Libby Hamer and Jessie Gordon with six-piece jazz band, the Hounds, this is slightly naughty, a little bit bawdy, old fashioned and funny.

Dressed in suits and straw hats, the music hall style is nicely established, and Jessie Gordon and Libby Hamer sing beautifully and entertain with style.

Highlights include the titular song, “Gimme that Thing”, “I Never See Maggie Alone” and “Fanlight Fanny”, with audiences encouraged to join in the song “Shaving Cream” (similar in style to “Sweet Violets”, being suggestive but never rude). 

Jessie described the show as both “educational and stupid” and while you may add to your vocabulary along the way, you will enjoy the music and the comedy even more.

This delightful celebration of “twangers and bangers” will keep your toes tapping throughout. Great music and great fun.
