Welsh jazz singer and record producer Ian Shaw will give a show and promote his new album “The Theory of Joy” on Friday night at On Stage.

    Shaw’s career in performance began in the 1980s on the Alternative Cabaret Circuit, alongside such performers as Julian Clary, Rory Bremner and Jo Brand. At the same time, he was playing the piano in bars and at festivals in London and throughout Europe.

    In 1990, he toured Europe and recorded with fellow singer Carol Grimes. Since that time, Shaw has regularly worked in duo settings with other singers, including Claire Martin, Linda Lewis, Liane Carroll, and Sarah Jane Morris.

    As an actor, Shaw performed in “Jerry Springer: The Opera” in the role of warm-up man/devil, which was created for him by Richard Thomas. In 2005, Shaw appeared as Percy in the film “Pierrepoint.” Shaw returned to comedy in 2011, touring widely with Rory Bremner.
