Synopsis
Synopsis

Audiences can expect Champion’s signature wry sincerity and humour, along with as previously unheard and unpublished material.

 

While most of the material is original, Champion's pet, who is a cat with cancer, is named after the legendary film and soundtrack of Orfeu Negro (1959) and was adopted in the year of the release of Marvel’s Black Panther (2015). The show will feature acoustic renditions of his favourite bossa nova melodies and a smidge of Kendrick Lamar.
