He does a “screamingly funny burlesque of a tango”.
Five songs, and two stories made up the majority of his act.
"We Play According to Me"
"Nobody"
He is a strong draw, up to the point that a number of people had to be turned away at the door once he'd filled the house. He was brought back to do his poker pantomime as an encore. The audience would not let him leave until he'd also sung "Nobody".
"Williams has the storytelling gift in a degree possessed by few".
