Earl Okin is one of a rare breed of performers a true original, whether playing piano or doing stand up.

And he is coming to Wimbledon Studio Theatre this Sunday with not one, but two completely different shows.

The first is Peggy, Mel and Joao, a tribute to those who have inspired his music: Peggy Lee, Mel Torme and Joao Gilderto.

Show number two is the subtly titled Earl Okin: Musical Genius and Sex Symbol. Not only will there be music, but Earl will be regaling the audience with stories and anecdotes from his career, some tall but all true.

Genuinely versatile, Earl's talents range from being a fine singer songwriter, to that of pianist, guitarist, as well as his unique talent vocal trumpeter, trombonist and clarinetist.
