Mitch Benn, one of the best writers/performers of comedy songs in the UK, is preserving Tom Lehrer’s legacy whether he likes it or not
When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer, the course of his life was changed forever.
Mitch’s show looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer; the creative debt he, and all those who mix humour and melody, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs.
Since Mr. Lehrer – who died in 2025 aged 97 – has placed his entire catalogue in the public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.
Mitch Benn is a comedian, author, satirical songwriter, musician and actor. Mitch is perhaps best known as the resident comic songwriter on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, 1999-2016.
