About the Show

With about 80 years’ performing experience between them, Andrew London and Gilbert Haisman offer a light-hearted retrospective look at New Zealand society ‘from the stage’.

Humourous and gently satirical songs and stories that reflect our cultural mores, obsessions and taboos, from the point of view of two middle class, middle aged citizens of Middle Earth eking out a hand-to-mouth livelihood in what we like to call ‘the Entertainment Business’.

If you’ve been to a function over the last 50 years (and who hasn’t?) , be it a dance in a country hall in 1965 to a swanky wedding at the Auckland viaduct in 2013, and wondered what the band were thinking – this is your chance to find out.
