'Sprechen Sie englisch?' fragt Hugh Laurie bei seinem Konzert im Berliner Tempodrom in gebrochenem deutsch. Für alle die dies vielleicht nicht beherrrschen, könne dann der Sitznachbar übersetzen meint Laurie verschmitzt und nimmt am Klavier Platz. Das steht auf einer Bühne, die aussieht wie eine Mischung aus Wohnzimmer, Pub und Cowboy-Rodeo-Gedächtnis Bar. Inmitten von Stehlampen unterschiedlichster Art und Größen wirkt Hugh Laurie fast wie ein Fremdkörper. Dieser große, beinahe ungelenk wirkende Brite will also allen Ernstens amerikanischer Musik fröhnen. Ja er will und er kann es!
