This performance of the show was filmed in September 2013 at London's historic Wilton's Music Hall. George Leybourne (Champagne Charlie 1842-1884) had a repertoire of over two hundred songs, and during the course of the show Christopher Beeching performs twenty-three of them, wearing reproductions of Leybourne's costumes. They cover a range of characters: from a rowdy upper class yob, to a heartbroken lover, a bold fisherman, a boxer, a Chinese giant, and a wealthy champagne drinking swell. Leybourne's beginnings in the slums of Gateshead are graphically described, as well as the hardship of a life in the Victorian Music Hall; his meteoric rise in the public's eyes, only to be deceived by fickle fame, ending up exhausted with an early, penniless death.
