David Fagin has built something genuinely rare with The Wankers: a tribute act that earns laughs as reliably as it earns applause. In a new interview with Stefani M.C. Janelli, the creative force behind the Brit-pop and New Wave tribute act opens up about what goes into blending sharp comedy with a full concert experience — and why the two have always belonged together.
  Fagin’s approach is anything but an afterthought. The Wankers draw from the irreverent spirit of the genre they celebrate, channeling the wit and energy of Brit-pop and New Wave into a live show that works on multiple levels at once. For audiences, it reads as pure fun. Behind the scenes, Fagin describes the precision required to pull that off night after night — keeping the music tight while the humor breathes.
  It’s the kind of act that’s difficult to put in a box, which is exactly what makes it work on stage. The Wankers bring something audiences don’t always expect from a tribute: a performance that has its own personality, not just a faithful reproduction of someone else’s.
