Alistair McGowan: Why I’m staging a piano festival – and banishing the German composers
When I finished my 20-date tour of my Piano Show, I breathed a sigh of relief. It had been the most challenging and draining thing I’d ever done. Yes, I’d been a stand-up comic since I left drama school but I had only taken up the piano, in earnest, aged 49, principally to get revenge on some very noisy Dutch neighbours in south-west London.

Alistair McGowan: Introductions to Classical Piano, Royal Albert Hall, review: fewer arpeggios and more punchlines please
It’s never too late to learn. Alistair McGowan was 49 when he took up the piano in earnest, just over four years ago. Two years later he had a classical album in the charts, and now the TV impressionist is playing the Albert Hall (actually a little room next to the hall, but close enough). Not bad going for a man who has only just passed his grade five theory exam. His music teacher, a guest at Wednesday’s show, is doubtless very proud. But are the rest of us just humouring him?
