An evening with Flanders and Swann

At the Drop of a Hippopotamus
– An evening with Flanders and Swann

8 - 10 November 2007, Les Salons Theatre

The Rolls Royce of Flanders and Swann shows arrived in Geneva! Multi-award winning comedian Tim Fitzhigham and BBC Radio 4 musical maestro Duncan Walsh Atkins brought back the mud, madeira and mayhem of Michael Flanders OBE and Donald Swann.

The Masters of 1950s and 1960s madness, mirth and total silliness were paid affectionate tribute to in this evening of their words and music. Michael Flanders and Donald Swann toured the globe bringing laughter and song to millions. Mud, Mud Glorious Mud (The Hippopotamus Song), The Gnu Song, Madeira M'dear, The Gasman Cometh, and many of their other songs have passed into legend along with their anarchic sense of humour, wordplay and fun.
