The list of people who've combined comedy with a love of classical music is a short but distinguished one. Dudley Moore and Bill Bailey, maybe. Tom Lehrer and Tim Minchin. And to it can be added the name of today's guest - former RNZ Concert presenter Robbie Ellis.
Robbie lives in Chicago now where he works at classical station WFMT. But he also loves to make comedy. His new album of comedy songs is called Metric System.
Robbie is about to come home to Aotearoa/New Zealand for Christmas, and while he's here he'll pop in for a couple of sets at the Classic Comedy Club in Auckland. His picks on the Laugh Track are all Chicago musical comedians -
Bill Larkin, Jamie Shriner, Scoochie Boochie and Jake Dewar.
Robbie Ellis will be playing at the Classic Comedy Club in Auckland on Thursday the 15th of December, and again the following night.
