After last year's sell out event they return with a sparkling new show of poetry, Classical/Traditional music and badinage. Rated as "unmissable" in 2005 by Edinburgh Fringe critics, it will be even more unmissable in 2006 because Louis has had more time to practice!

Louis Prima was a unique Sicilian/New Orleans showman. His musical career spanned over fifty years, but in his heyday, from the 1930s to the 1960s he was King of Swing, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Comedy Jazz. His colourful life story and great songs, including ‘Just a Gigolo', ‘Buonasera Signorina', and ‘Jump, Jive ‘n’ Wail’, brought to the Edinburgh International Fringe for the first time by Philip Contini.

"The band was fantastic, and the songs really got the audience going. It's a swinging hour of great music, bringing the life of Louis to light. 4/5", threeweeks.co.uk
