Chas. Sharpe

Location:
Theater:
Date:
The act was sixteen minutes long. Chas. Sharpe performs a musical monologue. He begins with a monologue and then plays the saxophone. He wears an “outlandish costume” equipped with medals which cannot really be considered comedy make-up.
Sharpe needs to decide if he is a monologist or a musician. He is a better monologist than musician and if he removed the bit with the explanation of the medals on his costume, the act would improve.
