The duo returns to The Pheasantry for a riotous evening of freshly-minted cabaret songs, improvisation and all-round silliness. Kit Hesketh Harvey (best known for thirty years as the singer-songwriter of Kit and the Widow, ‘Just A Minute’ veteran, and co-star on the first-ever BBC Comedy Proms at the Albert Hall) and pianist/occasional accordionist James McConnel (fellow Sondheim pupil and love-child of Hugh Grant and Prince Andrew) return to The Pheasantry in a programme of newly minted original songs, both hilarious and moving. They will explore contemporary events, local scandals and the extraordinary vagaries of the human heart.

They are especially delighted to be performing at The Pheasantry, as London life contains almost limitless potential song material.
