The Divine Comedy. Gig Review. (2025). Philharmonic Hall. Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Neil Hannon’s The Divine Comedy is probably the closest group ensemble to recreate the sensational beauty and drama of the old style Victorian Music Hall, and yet as the sheer poetry and observations are unveiled before the audience, the sense of modernity is overwhelming, two worlds colliding, one of examination of the sometimes absurd world we live in, and the other of outstanding theatre that captures human frailty at its most keenest, most endearing, its most vulnerable.
