Matthew Floyd Jones

He used to be on top of the world looking down on creation, to the left of (and slightly behind) his kid sister, iconic superstar Karen Carpenter. Nowadays, Richard is back on the circuit as a solo act, and he's only just begun.

So... where do we go from here? Get yourself a ticket to ride, and buckle up for an epic concert of catchy tunes and harrowing psychological trauma from the smiliest piano player in pop-rock history. A bittersweet dark comedy, full to the brim with Carpenters hits, telling the tragic yet uplifting tale of the ultimate control freak. ‘Cos solitaire really is the only game in town.

Written and performed by Matthew Floyd Jones, the guy to the left behind the piano from Frisky & Mannish.

“Hugely entertaining" (Guardian)

THIS PARODY SHOW IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH RICHARD CARPENTER IN ANY WAY. IT IS A WORK OF FICTION INSPIRED BY HIS LEGACY AND INTENDED WITH LOVE. AND IF BIRDS SUDDENLY APPEAR, WELL THAT'S JUST COINCIDENCE
