Mitch Benn: The Lehrer Effect
When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer, the course of his life was changed forever. Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer, the creative debt he, and all those who mix humour and melody, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs. Since Mr. Lehrer placed his entire catalogue in public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.
Tom Lehrer died at the age of 97, immediately before the premiere of the show in Edinburgh, which means that the show became a heart-felt eulogy rather than a living tribute to the artist.
