Comedic piano player David Scheel to bring show to Manjimup Town Hall

Adelaide pianist David Scheel is set to perform a comedic piano concert show at the Manjimup Town Hall next month. Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player is an all-ages show is presented by Warren Arts Council as part of the Manjimup Performance Series to be enjoyed by comedy lovers, and musicians and non-musicians alike. Scheel has toured more than 30 countries with his humorous musical show and shared the stage with artists as diverse as Ben Elton, Jay Leno, and Norman Wisdom. He has performed sell-out shows in London, three consecutive Edinburgh Fringe festivals and has been a regular performer on British TV and radio. Audiences can expect to hear anything from well-known folk tunes, and famous composers including Rachmaninoff and Mozart. They can also expect different pieces played with different hands at the same time or a medley of the “20 worst tunes ever written” as Scheel turns classical music on its head. His anecdotal-style comedy includes true stories of the worst pianos he’s ever had to play, and commentary on the lives of celebrities, current events, digs at politicians and sideswipes at the icons of modern living. Tickets are available at the Manjimup Arts Hub or online at Trybooking.com, with the event starting at 7pm on March 16.
