Kev Orkain
A ONE-MAN talent show is probably the best way to describe Kev Orkian's
one night extravaganza at Milton Keynes Theatre.
His Armenian immigrant act had me in absolute stitches, and the show
gave him an opportunity to display his multitude of talents in one
fantastic night.
There were so many highlights that it is difficult to pick one
moment out.
His comparison of Armenian to British music was brilliant, and his
ability on the piano was absolutely sublime.
His relationship with the audience was fantastic as well, with him
taking the mickey out of people to just the right level to avoid it
becoming cringeworthy.
I can't remember seeing a show and giving so many belly laughs out -
in particular the part of the show when he 'forgot' his accent.
The act who played his mother was also very funny with the nonsense
Armenian dialect given, and the classical singer who appeared was a
real good sport as well.
Orkian was fully deserving of his standing ovation at the end and a
DVD was being made of the show so I can't wait for that to come out -
it will be an immediate buy in our household!
