It's time to shut up and sing! Experience the power of a voice spanning over four octaves in this hilarious cabaret romp.
A master of falsetto and stiletto, this vocal sensation marries savage wit, outrageous innuendo and what Express Magazine called “a voice to die for” to drag you screaming with laughter into a world of pleasure, amusement and sensation!
Leather Lungs has a 4-octave vocal range (for real!). Leather Lungs has the vocal power and grit of Aretha Franklin, the sweet vocal lightness of Mama Alto, and the deep baritone of James Earl Jones. Leather Lungs also has jokes coming a mile a minute, enough cartoon voices to do his own Warner Brothers cartoon show, and enough pathos to bring the room to tears.
Leather Lungs fistfights with anxiety, scissors with sensuality, and discos with deviants, amongst an explosion of song, bleeding vulnerability and heart in this beautifully raw and honest journey through finding your voice.
