Begin the month with an evening in the company of Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, the leading (and possibly only) exponent of ‘Chap-Hop.’ This tweed-wearing gent, real name Jim Burke, raps in received pronunciation and drops bars about cricket, monocles, a nice buttered bun and a good pair of brogues.
This month he’ll be bringing his Edwardian-meets-urban stylings to Cambridge Junction for an evening of festive frolics which features plenty of songs from his Christmas album, from All I Want For Christmas Is An Original Jawa With Vinyl Cape to the rollicking Adultery at Christmas.
“It is wonderful to be stopping off in Cambridge with my own show,” says Mr B. “To be playing at an esteemed seat of learning such as this is always a pleasure and never a chore, and just what a fellow needs to get himself into the festive mood. I look forward to seeing all you chaps and chapesses there, with bells on.”
It all takes place on 1 December. Tickets £13 in advance.
