The GOOD NEWS Cabaret
Johnson and Perold reunite to present a feast of comedy & music in their new cabaret.
Both play and sing the piano simultaneously with wow-factor dexterity. Together they bring tantalizing comedy songs to life with custom musical arrangements. Pieces that are funny, witty, strange & unusual in some way are featured alongside original material by the duo who are both songwriters.
Modern men? Oh yes they are! But classics like Your Song, Lady is a Tramp, Piccola Marina (and some of that crap from Phantom) also get a new twist.
The Indelible Godfrey Johnson has performed over 20 one-man shows nationally and internationally. Has worked extensively as a musician, director, composer and is a starlwart on the cabaret scene. Johnson has been nominated for 6 Fleur du Cap awards, most recenlty for “Vaslav”, and won for Best Performance in a Cabaret for Kissed by Brel.
Debonair Roland Perold is a consummate performer, producer, songwriter and cabaret artist with 9 years’ experience across Revue, Cabaret, Plays, Musicals and Pantomime. Specializing in Golden Age repertoire has grown a loyal following as Cabaret Man and won The Muse Award for Best New Play for “The Pitch” (co-written with Callum Tilbury) by the Writers’ Guild of South Africa.
