Wagner’s Ring for people who can’t be bothered to sit through it

The Royal Scots Club Show Dates: 17 Aug 2026-29 Aug 2026

A completely fresh, interactive and hilarious retelling of Richard Wagner’s 16-hour epic The Ring of the Nibelung. Armed with a piano and laugh-out-loud slideshow, stand-up comedian/conductor Rainer Hersch (The Windows Waltz - 30M views on YouTube, All Classical Music Explained - BBC Radio 4, Borge Again) takes you from the first note to the last and, whether you’re a music professor or couldn’t tell a tenor from a toaster, it’s 'a guaranteed laugh every four bars' (Scotsman). 'A music comedian with a difference, he is really funny' (Telegraph).
