Kit and The Widow

Kit and The Widow are a double act, performing humorous songs in the vein of Tom Lehrer or Flanders and Swann; they also cite Anna Russell as an influence. They are Kit Hesketh-Harvey and Richard Sisson (The Widow). They have performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and in West End theatres, and accept private bookings. They have published a double CD album, Les Enfants du Parody, and more recent CD 100 Not Out.

Their style combines MusicAL classicism and an understated Cambridge urbanity with often outrageous satirical content.
