“Oooo…it’s SO good” – Dawn French  

‘Joe Stilgoe and Liza Pulman are showbusiness royalty…’ LondonTheatre  ★★★★ 

 A Couple of Swells is the inspired pairing of two unique entertainers – Liza Pulman, songstress, comedienne and one-third of the iconic Fascinating Aida, and virtuoso pianist, songwriter and singer Joe Stilgoe.   

Together they combine humour and musicianship at the very highest level, making old songs sound new and new songs feel like you’ve known them all your life.  

Both born in the proverbial trunk, their style has been fine-tuned from cradle to stage, and together they have the musical and theatrical chemistry of Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews, or Barbara Cook and Wally Harper. 

Prepare to be swept away by Joe’s dazzling piano playing, Liza’s exquisite vocals and their beautiful, tight harmonies as they dig into the true classics and hidden gems of Irving Berlin, Paul McCartney, Jerome Kern, Billy Joel and Leonard Bernstein, mixed with a few new songs specially written for the show. 

This is old-fashioned glamour in the company of two modern-day musical greats.   

“The chemistry Pulman and Stilgoe have together is second to none … together they are unstoppable.” All That Dazzles ★★★★ 

“… a wonderful night of proper showbiz from two extraordinary artists right at the top of their game…” Damian Thantrey, Festival Director, Lichfield Festival  

“Two supreme entertainers on the stage together… what’s not to love!” Stewart Collins, Artistic Director, Petworth Festival.
