Book tickets for Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer at The Portland Arms at Cambridge Junction. Please note: This event is taking place at The Portland Arms After years of twisting Hip-Hop to his Chap-Hop will, Mr.B finally brings you the full story of Rap as only he can tell it - Straight Out Of Surrey. Mr.B invented Chap-Hop in 2007, having spent years as a Britrap hitmaker (anyone remember ‘Eat My Goal’?) and performing with such luminaries as Grandmaster Flash and Gravediggaz. Since then he has travelled the world, from The Royal Albert Hall to Osaka, Banstead to Berlin, Manchester to Minneapolis, Norway to New York and the Edinburgh Fringe to Glastonbury bringing his beats, rhymes and manners, as well as songs about cricket, pipe smoking, high society and interfering with livestock. The album accompanying this tour will be his fifteenth. His videos have garnered millions of views on YouTube and his media appearances have included rapping for Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight, playing live on BBC Radio One for Rob Da Bank, Nick Grimshaw & Scott Mills, on Radio Two for Claudia Winkleman & Steve Lamacq, 6 Music for Tom Robinson & Shaun Keaveny, Radio Four with Diane Morgan, discussing Hip-Hop on Romesh Ranganathan’s podcast and rhyming for Zoe Ball on Sky Arts. He was also once on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and was described by the Daily Mail as ‘Controversial’. Equal parts rapper, banjolele maverick, storyteller, beatmaker and dandy, his ‘Probably Accurate Hip-Hop History Show’ is packed with interpretations of rap favourites and original songs. It will amaze with previously unknown facts, stories, fly dancing and maybe a just a bit of guessing. Mr.B always entertains, educates and informs…and sometimes slightly fibs. 'Hip-Hop comedy genius’ - The Telegraph ‘Hilarious' - The Independent ‘The home service meets run DMC’ - Evening Standard ‘Warm, funny, articulate and quietly very angry’ - Something Good ‘Too funny and dope’ - Nile Rodgers (Chic) No booking fees when you become a Member – save £2 per ticket!
