A first dueling piano show can sound unpredictable because it is. That is part of the appeal.

PianoPiano in Claremont combines live music, comedy, song requests, drinks, and audience participation in one 21-and-over night out.

The basic format

The pianists take requests, move between genres, talk with the crowd, and build the night from what is happening in the room.

What helps before you arrive

  • Arrive with enough time to settle in
  • Expect comedy between songs
  • Let the group know the venue is 21 and over

Relax once the show starts

The performers handle the pace of the night. Your only real job is to enjoy the music, laugh with the room, and request something when inspiration strikes.
