The Independent Recommends: Comedy

THE SPOOF showbiz entertainer Lenny Beige, returns to the adoring masses at his spiritual home in the Regency Rooms. Playing the vain- glorious entertainer to the hilt, he fumes if a mobile phone goes off in the audience: "Who the hell needs a telephone? You're communicating with a showbusiness legend here." His alter ego, Steve Furst, says that "in terms of fancying himself as an all-round entertainer, Lenny is a cross between Tom Jones and Sammy Davis Jr. I'm dead set on getting tap- dancing lessons now." If you like kitsch, you'll love this.
