David Scheel returns to The Events Centre, Caloundra with his much-loved hilarious solo show, Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only The Piano Player, on Saturday 11 February.
David Scheel’s concerts turn classical music on its head with anything from a well-known folk tune played in the styles of various famous composers, to two different pieces played with different hands at the same time or a medley of the 20 worst tunes ever written.
His raconteur-style send-ups of the ridiculous include true stories of bad pianos he’s had to play, sharp-edged commentary on the celeb lives of the Kardashians, Meghan and Harry and co., and equally topical digs at politicians.
His hilarious translation of the lyrics of Waltzing Matilda is already an established comedy classic, and it’s set to be joined by his latest offering: Everything You Need to Know to Survive a Pandemic.
All this in a huge range of voices and accents, which have led to frequent comparisons with Peter Ustinov, whilst his brilliant musical spoofs on the piano (as well as his serious playing of the instrument) saw him dubbed the new Victor Borge very early on in his career.
