Widow'S Tale

From society drawing rooms to the foothills of the Hindu Kush - not forgetting below decks on the biggest gay cruise ever to trouble an ocean - Richard Sisson tells the full story of his unlikely adventures in the world of entertainment. Best known as the piano-playing portion of international cabaret act "Kit & The Widow", Sisson's kaleidoscopic glimpse of a life in showbiz follows the act's progress from youthful stirrings in the Cambridge Footlights to recent tours of the Persian Gulf and Pacific Rim. En route it's a roll-call of the good, the great and the frankly appalling. Praise for "Kit & The Widow": '["Kit & The Widow"] combines verbal dexterity with pianistic skill' - Michael Billington, "Guardian". 'The witheringly rude answer to Flanders & Swann...literate and sophisticated...inventively filthy' - Charles Spencer, "Daily Telegraph".
