How big is Hugh Laurie’s pianist?

It feels strange to see Dr Hou…uh, sorry, Hugh Laurie, clean-shaven and walking without a limp after he played the title role in the medical drama House.

Demonstrating his skills as an accomplished blues and jazz pianist, his debut album of covers, Let Them Talk, features a deep singing voice that complements the music perfectly.

His witty self-deprecating song introductions provide a glimpse of his comedic side, reminiscent of his days as Stephen Fry’s comedy partner doing stand-up, and the standing ovation he received during a recent performance suggests that many enjoyed this new style of House music.

However, it’s merely a novelty to see an actor or comedian perform a few songs. The audience can return home and update their Facebook statuses with something like, “Saw Dr House…and, believe it or not…he actually can sing…”

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter whether he can or cannot sing. People often struggle to accept that someone can possess multiple talents. If he had included a few jokes in his performance, those who only know him as an actor would have been even more amazed.

On a personal note, a blend of cover songs, blues, and jazz is a certain formula for me to feel violently ill for three days, and once I start to recover, I might end up stabbing myself uncontrollably with a somewhat sharp knife.

Hugh, it truly doesn’t matter if you can sing, act, or tell jokes…so I’m perplexed about what you are attempting to demonstrate. You probably have a very small penis.
