Charlie Chaplin is one of Britain's greatest comedy legends so why is the toothbrush moustache no longer sported by men? Bloody Hitler that's why. He's always ruining things. Over the next two weeks, Richard Herring brings his critically-acclaimed Hitler Moustache to the Leicester Square Theatre; exploring iconography, racism and innocent facial hair.
The show was a talking point last summer when a Guardian journalist wrote an article about a 'new breed of offensive comedy', taking some of Herring's words out of context. A furious debate ensued between people who hadn't seen the show and those who could read between the lines. All was eventually resolved: Herring was allowed to write a response in said publication and the show recieved plenty of publicity and high ticket sales. Fun was had by all.
