PHIL SCOTT IN "SERIOUS CABARET"

WHAT is in "Serious" Cabaret?
THE "serious" cabaret elements, of course. Showtoons from Sondheim, Gershwin, Porter, etc ... but not the expected selections.
OLD favourites by Tom Lehrer, Flanders and Swann and Kylie Minogue,
RED-blooded, heterosexual love songs! (He plays both parts, but that's enough about that.)
ORIGINAL material (especially in his trousers)
THE odd anecdote from his long, clandestine career in showbiz.
PLUS a serious moment or two- ALL informed by Phil Scott's agile and slightly sick mind.
