On a one-man mission to introduce Hip-Hop to the Queen's English, Mr. B is delighted to present Chap-Hop. Having spent the best part of a decade bringing some manners back to popular culture, this dopest of fellows will entertain and amuse you with his ingenious stylings. Aiming to dazzle with dignity, Mr. B takes to the stage with his Banjolele and stiff upper lip to perform ditties of pipe-smoking, high society, Cricket and sexual misadventure, as well as some more well-known pieces from the world of Hip-Hop, re-worked in true Chap-Hop fashion.

Freaks Outing

Freaks Outing specialise in recording outrageous comedy songs that are written and performed from the perspective of gross caricatures. Each song has its own musical and production style, each "performer" a back story. Richard Lilley plays keyboards, programs, produces and plays the roles of all the characters. Elliot J. Huntley plays bass, guitar, mandolin and is a veteran stand up comedian. Live they perform as a spectacular two man comedy show.
