Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic returns to Cape Town this weekend. Due to high demand the internationally acclaimed tribute show to one of the most electrifying bands in history is on at Grand Arena again. Warren Vernon-Driscoll, who plays the role of Freddie Mercury, joined Ryan in studio to chat about the show.

We put Warren on the spot and asked him to embody Freddie in studio. We quickly put together a Bohemian Rhapsody parody as an ode to a mother-in-law’s cooking on Christmas and Warren did not disappoint!
