This page is about where you can see Rainer.
Some of Rainer's performances are in comedy clubs where he will be doing a 20 minute solo set. While these are all prestigious venues and great fun they are are not always for the faint hearted. To see or hear Rainer do a more classical music-oriented performance, sometimes in the company of a full orchestra, check out the dates below which are in blue italics.
