Straight from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026.

“A bold and entertaining show.”

Van Beethoven has unfinished business!

Pushed by his relentlessly ambitious father as “Ze next Mozart!”, battling a broken heart, broken body, broken ears, and certain he is nearing his demise, Ludwig reincarnates “to put ze record straight!” Combining virtuoso pianism with Teutonic stand-up comedy, concert pianist, Mike Hatchard, provides an hilarious insight into ‘The Mad Pounder’ coming to terms with life, death, music, Amadeus, Bach, Chuck Berry, and his wretched final sonata.

Directed by Olivier winner Guy Masterson (The Shark Is Broken).
