New York City cabaret legends Kiki and Herb are longtime friends of Soho Theatre, although it’s been a while since they all hung out together: the duo’s inaugural shows at Soho Theatre Walthamstow are also their first in this country for 18 years. Expect wit, emotion and virtuoso musicianship. And while you can probably take this with a pinch of salt, Kiki and Herb are Trying does come with a plot of sorts: the duo have been enjoying a state supported retirement since last we saw them, but suddenly the state pension cheques have dried out and the pair have been forced back to work and over to the UK, where they have resolved to play some shows and repair relations between our two countries.
