OUT OF OFFICE

BLOW UP THE (CREDIT CRUNCH) MUSICALWhat’s not to love about a telling of the credit crunch through the medium of a five-piece brass band? Failed financier Max Klein, played by ex-City headhunter-turned-comedian Charlie Talbot talks us through it all in layman’s terms in this Edinburgh fringe hit. A highlight is the “Oompah Brass” quintet blasting out the hits of Kylie and AC/DC. 14 Oct-29 Nov at the King’s Head (Islington) and Leicester Squ Theatre; tickets £17.50.
