British actor and musician and star of the popular TV series House, Hugh Laurie, will play a gig in Kyiv to promote his debut blues album.
As a part of this year's tour, Laurie will perform in Kyiv (on June 20), Minsk (June 22), St. Petersburg (June 24) and Moscow (June 25), according to the Web site of the Euro Entertainment company. His debut album "Let Them Talk" was released in 2011.
The album, which consists of classic blues songs, was recorded in Los Angeles and New Orleans. "In my imagination, New Orleans just straight hummed with music, romance, joy, despair; its rhythms got into my gawky English frame and, at times, made me so happy and sad, I just didn't know what to do with myself," the concert organizers quoted Laurie as saying.
"Acting is largely about putting on masks, and music is about removing them," the actor was quoted as saying. Hugh Laurie was first became well known as one half of the Fry and Laurie double act, along with his friend and comedy partner Stephen Fry. The duo than starred in the Jeeves and Wooster TV series adapted from P.G. Wodehouse's stories.

Hugh Laurie’s main achievement is making the character (Dr House for instance) appealing in spite of his despicable qualities. Laurie achieves traction with his impeccable timing for sarcasm and grudging admiration without ever verbalizing it. He is channelizes wit, vulnerability and brilliance through his character which is a difficult conductor of such exalted virtues. Characters of this breed require a degree of magnetism and Laurie brings that charm with him without being too obvious about it. He tunes in to the mischievous elements of his character with great felicity.
