Award winning, multi-lingual, music comedian Rebecca Carrington and “Joe”, her 18th century cello, must be one of the world’s most unusual double-acts.
Together they perform spoofs of everything from Pop to Opera and Jazz to Bollywood. Having performed Live and on Radio & Television around the world they are rapidly gaining an international reputation in the comedy/cabaret scene.
In 2007 she created the double act, CARRINGTON-BROWN, with her stagepartner Colin Brown, who has perfomed as a singer and actor in London’s West End and with the “Royal Shakespeare Company”. He was a member of the UK Kult-A-Capella-Group “The Magnets” for 10 years and sung as a backing singer for Robbie Williams on his 2006 “Close Encounters” World Tour.
Together they have won international cabaret prizes including the audience prize at both the “German Prix Pantheon” and the “Swiss Arosa Humour Festival”.
