Mitch Benn on Tour! in Southampton - Saturday 2nd May 2026

Mitch Benn is on Tour "The Lehrer Effect" at The Attic in Southampton Saturday 2nd May 

When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehree. The course of his life was changed forever.

Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer, the creative debt he, and all those who mix humour and meolody, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs.

An Evening of Comedy & Songs with Mitch Benn at The Attic in Southampton 

Since Mr. Lehrer placed his entire catalogue in public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well,

Tom Lehrer died in July 2025, at the age of 97, and immediately before the premiere of the show in Edinburgh, which means that the show is now a heart-felt eulogy rather than living tribute to the artist.

“A charming tribute to an all time great” THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

“The Lehrer Effect is both an affectionate tribute and a highly entertaining show demonstrating how literate comedy and satire continue to be valuable today” BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
