The neo-vaudevillian, the real life Disney villain,
the gin-addled courtesan, the anti-christ of cabaret and the one and only waltzing cynic...

Eccentric to international stages, Joe Black takes to shows in an almost cartoon-esque musical assault,
sweeping the audience through deathly showtunes, stomping polkas and heart wrenching ballads.

Though seemingly unable to fit into any particular category, Joe Black has shared a stage with many notable names from different stretches of performance,

notable musical acts such as Amy Winehouse, Gary Numan, My Bloody Valentine, St Vincent, Noah And The Whale, Hadouken, The Strange Death Of Liberal England, Abney Park and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly

and notable performance art, cabaret and burlesque performers such as Empress Stah, Dusty Limits, Vivid Angel, Ivy Paige, Beatrix Von Bourbon, Vicky Butterfly, Frank Sanazi, Scottee, Des O'Connor and many more.

With a huge array of events, such as Torture Garden, Bestival, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival and so many more under his belt,
and having made several television and video appearances, including an interview on BBC television regarding offensive and risque music (naturally) and appearing in numerous music videos, including 'Angelou' by UK art rockers 'The Strange Death Of Liberal England'

Mister Joe Black... armed with an accordion, a piano, and a voice with force like no other.
Is ready to give you a show, that years of therapy couldn't even help you forget.

We're very concerned...



Photo by Emma Harvey.




Dear Reader,

my voice was obtained by living on a diet of dust and tangerines.

the accordion, from a drunken polka player on a deserted island.

the piano, won from a game of black jack with the devil himself.

the stamping, comes from my knees mainly....

So ready your gramophones, adorn your best feathered hat and pin your scarf.

We are the waltzing cynics. And we do as we do.

It must be insisted, that you, do as you do as well.
Let no being, alive or dead tell you that you cannot live, love and learn,
or that you cannot be happy as you are, because that is a lie.
Whoever you are, whatever you are, wherever you are and however you are...
stay beautiful.

Yours sincerely
Mister Joe Black

PS - Sometimes people contact me. I always wonder why... but if you should feel a need to contact me, like some people do, sometimes, at various point of the day, and at various points in my life.
To perhaps question me on playing your event,
or maybe an interview,
or maybe to ask why i once straddled the queen on a carousel.

I don't mind what you ask.

as long as its not about bees... all non bee related questions can be put to....

joe@misterjoeblack.com


bee related questions, can go to hell.
