InvAsian Festival: ChineseElvis - The King From Beijing

ChineseElvis

I think I must be on drugs. See, this Chinese guy just walked into the room wearing an Elvis costume and started serving me dim sum whilst giving a lecture on the history of themed Asian restaurants. Not being an Elvis fan myself, I didn't think much of the music but then the 'King from Beijing' seems to be more about the piss-take than the musical legacy anyway, using a mixture of stand-up style banter, Powerpoint 'lectures', oh, and the odd song. Though a very friendly guy, his show did feel rather fan-exclusive and the gags weren't all that great, though the sheer surreal nature of the experience is sure to pull in some curious punters.
