What's on

Elvis Costello once asked the question “What’s so funny about peace, love and understanding?” – well, we’ve got the answer appearing at The Stables on June 14 – and the answer is Mundo Jazz.

Mundo Jazz are a band on a mission! Their mission is to teach us about peace, the environment and racial harmony - what a pity, then, that they know absolutely nothing about these things.

A beautifully subtle satire on Bono, Bob Geldof and all those other preachy celebs who like to tell us how we ought to live our lives, Mundo Jazz preach love and understanding through ridiculously catchy songs, thunderously crass poetry and catastrophic onstage phone calls to the White House. They are also superb musical and comic improvisers, frequently creating songs on the spot, swapping instruments at high speed and veering off into spontaneous chaos. Worried about your carbon footprint? Don’t be, you can buy one of theirs after the show…

“…a sort of live, Latino Spinal Tap. Very, very, very funny.” - The Daily Express

“…combine genuinely thrilling harmonies and killer songs with side-splitting gags. Their solution to Third World debt is the best joke I’ve ever heard. Period.” - The Times
