If you are looking for jaw-dropping, mouth-watering, belly-aching and side-splitting entertainment then look no further. Comedy String Quartet provides an exciting and unique alternative to the String Quartet, offering an all-singing, all-dancing, comedy cabaret act. They have moved the classical string quartet into the 21st Century. The combination of classical, jazz, opera and folk and acoustic music together with energetic, choreographed moves and humorous interactions with the audience provides a stunning show that no one will forget. Every item in the programme reveals a unique talent displayed in amazing individual and group performances with an exciting choreographed presentation.

Comedy String Quartet was founded in 1997 by Cathal O'Duill. Whilst street-performing in Covent Garden (London) he realised that classical music could be made fun for any audience through interaction and comedy. The company has developed a unique antidote to the preconceptions of classical music as stuffy and elitist and succeeds in bringing it to anyone and everyone whatever their age.

Comedy String Quartet have a large international following and in 2011 performed in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Tunisia, Sweden, Holland, Estonia, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. The group perform for a huge range of events, their varied work taking them from festivals, cruise-ships and concert halls to prisons, hospitals and schools; from weddings and parties to theatres and corporate events.

Please note...
The quartet's sound will carry acoustically to 100 people (and for vocals they carry their own radio mics) - over this number, they will require a PA system and Lighting, including 4 microphones & boom stands.
