The vaudevillian adage, "Don't just do something - stand there", clearly hasn't filtered through to Philip Quast. He bounds on to the stage, in this, his first foray into cabaret, and during the course of the evening takes his shoes off, jumps in the air, sits on a chair then stands on it and later lifts it and whirls it above his head. He puts on an apron for one sad little song, 'Tonight's Menu', about a father cooking dinner for his son's latest conquest, lights a candle and opens a bottle of wine. The only surprise is that in 'The King is in the All-together' from Hans Christian Andersen he doesn't take off his clothes.
