We’re all for unlikely crossovers – there’s often a good deal of humour to be found in an ‘odd couple’ pairing – but we’re not sure we’ve encountered anything like Only An Octave Apart before.

The unlikely duo have put together an intimate 90-minute show, which debuted in New York last autumn, and has now landed in London at the gorgeous Wilton’s Music Hall.
