Going Out: Comedy - GIG OF THE WEEK

Hans Liberg tonight Peacock Theatre, London WC

Like Def Leppard, Hans Liberg is big in Germany. But don't let that put you off. This Dutch performer is no heavy-metal dinosaur, but a sophisticated musical comedian. Musical comedy is not generally a concept designed to delight fans of either music or comedy; it can often fall embarrassingly between the two stools. But Liberg manages to avoid this, with an impressive display of musical mickey-taking in his show, International. In a melodic whistle-stop tour, he mocks everything from Bach to the Beatles. Nothing if not versatile, he proves himself of soloist standard, not only on piano, harpsichord, trumpet, recorder, guitar, drum and cymbal, but also on Power Ranger - for an arrangement of the Toy Symphony, since you ask.

Peacock Theatre, London WC2 (0171-863 8222) tonight, 7.30pm
