 Earl Okin is one of
those rare performers..... a true original!!! Genuinely versatile, his talents range from that of
a fine Singer-Songwriter, (in styles ranging from chart orientated tracks to the classiest of
Jazz-Standards, via authentic Bossa-Novas), to that of Pianist, Guitarist, world class
Jazz-Singer, as well as his unique standing as ' Vocal Trumpeter, Trombonist and Clarinetist'.
Added to all of this is his Humour,
sophisticated and witty enough to have made him perhaps the leading music & Comedy act on the
unforgiving London Alternative Comedy Circuit!
Apart from appearances on British shows too
numerous to mention, Earl has appeared at all the major London venues including The Royal Albert
Hall, The Royal Festival Hall, The London Palladium, Wembley Arena, The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
and The Barbican.
Earl has appeared alongside everyone from
Paul McCartney and Van Morrison to Benny Carter, Stephane Grappelli and Cleo Laine. He has
entertained the Queen and Princess Margaret.
Finally his one man show has made his name a
legend at the amazing Edinburgh International Festival and venues literally around the world. He
has been described as a cross between Harry Connick Jr. and Victor Borge, but there is really only
one... Earl Okin
Earl has toured the show that features all
aspects of his talent throughout the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Switzerland & Russia etc.
Finally of course, Earl Okin's name is
legendary at the Edinburgh International Festival. In year 2000 he completed his 18th and final
full (successful) year reaching an unprecedented 500 performances and gaining a place in the
Guinness Book Of Records!He does return, though, for one night in 2001, to take part in a large
Charity Gala on 21st August at The Playhouse...
