It’s less than two weeks to go until another of Club Geek Chic’s renowned ‘In Conversation’ events takes place in the intimate surroundings of the Concert Room at Liverpool’s St. George’s Hall with Liverpool-born actor, comedian and impersonator PETER SERAFINOWICZ.
Friday 1st April is the date when the ex-SFX schoolboy will talk about his incredible career which has seen him take on such varied roles as Duane Benzie, Simon Pegg’s arch-nemesis in Spaced, the USA-obsessed Tex from I’m Alan Partridge, a TomorrowAdd an event for tomorrow’s World style scientist in the Open University-inspired Look Around You not to mention a plethora of bizarre and hilarious characters in the self-titled sketch series, The Peter Serafinowicz Show.
The evening takes on a live ‘Desert Island Discs’ format featuring Peter’s top five song choices performed live by five separate acts. The musicians have now been hand-picked by co-directors Karen Podesta and Gemma Aldcroft and consist of a mix of new, emerging and established Liverpool artistes.
