As established purveyors of comedy prog-metal, Jack Black and Kyle Gass deliver a show that functions as American rock ’n’ roll pantomime in Leeds.
“Leeds,” Jack Black intones from behind the microphone, its stand wrapped upright in a waxy approximation of Satan’s clenched red fist. “Been a while. I had such a nice stroll up your canal.” He pauses, then leans over towards the front rows, face poker-straight. “I spent all day up in there.” Such ribald entendres are par for the course with the singer-actor-songwriter and his companion Kyle Gass. Together, the two are Tenacious D, established purveyors of comedy prog-metal.
Its songs are noticeably absent across a 90-minute show; engineered as a daffy send-up from cod-acoustic-opera opener Kickapoo to The Spicy Meatball Song – a throwaway ditty sung to the tune of John Williams’ Raiders March – it mostly thrills those in attendance. It helps that both Black and Gass are fine musicians, and that the former holds a terrific voice to stand with his heroes.
