The Beat Goes On
The Glummer Twins • Semi-professional company
About The Glummer Twins
The Beat Goes On is a fifty-minute comedy and music show from semi-professional company The Glummer Twins — duo David Harmer and Ray Globe — performed at The Snug. Their irreverent show takes audiences on a trawl through the fads, fashions and music of the eight decades that made them what they are today: old. Drawing on stand-up, spoken word comedy and music from the Beat Generation, the show delivers sharp-tongued nostalgia, musical mayhem and brutally honest takes on the indignities of ageing. Suitable for ages 8 and above.
Why see this show?
Two performers with a dry, self-deprecating wit reflecting on eight decades of popular culture — an entertaining hour of music, comedy and nostalgia that offers a completely different take on stand-up.
