Chris Prosser explains the background to the show:  

"I was never totally happy just playing the violin. Something was missing. Now I know what it is: I want to sing and act at the same time. I like to drink the violin whilst playing it, become intoxicated, and vocalize with it - sometimes in English and other times in a spontaneous made-up nonsense tongue, to enhance the mood of the song. Now I perform at the interface of violin and voice."

These songs make for an unusual form of music theatre, presented as stand-up with chat. Here are some of the song titles: 'The Nobody Inn', 'The Bun Shop Song' 'Chords are Very Strange Things' 'Philosophy Song: discussion between a Dog a Goat and a Shepherd' 'Ya Glottal' 'Gypsy Waltz Offset' 'Two Page Epic'.

"Mr Prosser shows an astonishing talent for feverish improvisation." - Edwin Carr, Taupo Times
