Last night I hosted a night of absolute hilarity at Jack Rabbit Slim's - the newest Live Entertainment Venue in Bognor Regis, West Sussex! As part of The Royal Hotel this should become the Premier Variety venue in The South! This particular event was a fundraiser comedy night. Around 100 guests showed up and were treated to an evening of the best comedians - both established and up-and-coming acts that we have to offer! More fun than you can have with your knickers down!

London Studios for Hat Trick Productions with Marcus Brigstocke

Just got back from ITV London Studios where I was recording a new show for Channel 4 hosted by Marcus Brigstocke - what a nice man! Lovely people at Hat Trick Productions, Toni, Lissa and Neil. Great fun! Hat Trick are a great company responsible for Father Ted, Harry Enfield, Armstrong & Miller and loads more!

My wonderful wife, Marian and I recorded the very last thing (ironically a quiz show pilot for ITV) at BBC Television Centre on 29/03/13 before it closed forever. We spoke to Vic Reeves (on a break from filming a new sitcom with Sir Robert Of Mortimer) at rehearsal, a really nice guy as you would expect! When recording ended and the audience melted away we walked through the corridors which had once seen the Giants of Entertainment in the UK. Everyone from my youth, Blue Peter people, the Woodentops - but enough about Noel's House Party! The Beatles, John Peel, Whispering Bob, Sir Terry, Sir Bruce, Tarby, Parky, Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, Steptoe & Son, Alf Garnett, Del Boy - above all Sir Spike Milligan & Co. and far too many others to mention here. It was the base for the biggest telethon in history - Liveaid - the event that changed the world (whether you like it or not!) and.......... The infamous BBC Canteen! Which is now regretfully closed and gone forever - that which lived in infamy in the minds of Ken Bruce and Terry Wogan! God bless the BBC - it may be flawed but it reflects the flaws of the British People. Brotherly Love, Relief, Fairness and Truth! Television Centre, Wood Lane is dead - long live BBC Salford!

Who dae ye think you're lookin' at? haha

Taken at a gig in Cannock, East Midlands in March 2013. A 60th Birthday Party actually! The lucky lady was totally shocked and amused! Great crowd, theme - Mods and Rockers. First time I ever had dogs in my audience!

Face The Clock with RORY BREMNER - Channel 4

Face The Clock with RORY BREMNER
Shown on 15th January 2013 - I had the best fun in a long time! Flown up to Glasgow, Food and Accommodation plus a day filming with some beautiful people and the Amazing Rory Bremner - offscreen we had such a laugh! Rory being "BILLY" and me being "Even BILLIER" Such a nice guy and such a rewarding experience - although nobody won anything! Great weekend!

New Quiz Show - Objective Productions for Channel 4

This past week I flew up to Glasgow to record a brand new quiz show for Channel 4 coming in 2013. Quizmaster is Rory Bremner and between his impression of Billy and mine we had such a great time! Aye, he'll do me right enough! Nice guy.

I just got back from a really nice gig for the nicest Guy -Phil Tucker - I will remember it until my dying day! I had just introduced Billy's big hit D.I.V.O.R.C.E. - I played the intro and launched into the 1st verse.....Our Little Dog is 6 years old when - Mr & Mrs Tucker's best friend "MAX" decided to join in! "WOOF WOOF!" he went in a deep resonant tenor bark! If only there had been a video cam - straight in to "You've Been Framed" Worldwide!!! Pure Magic!

ROX FREE Music & Arts Festival 2011

Crowd Surfing (almost) with my adoring ROX public!! MORE fun than you can have with your clothes off!!

My Great-Uncle - the Inimitable.................Neil Ainsby (and I) - ROX 2011 - This year's ROX FREE Festival is 27,28&29 JULY!

I met Billy again in Brighton - he was the eternal Gentleman! - He autographed my Banjo, played "Cripple Creek" to the assembled fans, then he actually gave me a few hints and tips about how to actually do his act!! Billy is the real deal in my view! Legend is a much abused term buit in Billy's case it is just about right!

I'm Big in The Isle Of Man!!! seriously though I had the best time on this gig and I hope to get back - I think they want me around Christmas - well they said "It'll be a cold night before we have you back!!!!"..... The old ones are the best!

CENTENARY CENTRE, PEEL, ISLE OF MAN

If I had been the real BIG YIN I could not have been treated any better! The people who run the Centenary Centre are true heroes!! Ernie, Malcolm,Trev,Mark the sound engineer, Sue(Mrs Ernie!)and everyone who have made the Centenary Theatre run as a theatre should be run, should be proud of themselves!! They should be running the country!!! Many thanks to Stanley Brothers for their support!
MUCH LOVE TO THE ISLE OF MAN!!XXX

HAPPY NEW 2012!!!

Happy New Year!! I kicked off 2012 by appearing in the first TV Ad of the year - filmed on West Wittering beach West Sussex the ad is for The SUN (don't ask!) If you look closely you will see me cunningly disguised as a hairdresser in the Red Jacket (with the hair tied back looking more like Wagner than Billy!) We had 2 days filming in mid December running IN the freezing waters of the Channel! Great fun!

First Advert of 2012

I've just spent the weekend on the beach at West Wittering, Sussex, running(!) along the sand and in the sea!!! All for a new advert for The SUN (sometimes fate just laughs at my pet hates!!) I played a very camp hairdresser and it will be shown as the first ad of 2012, incorporating the Olympics with every face of the Great British Nation! The cast, crew and extras were brilliant - so friendly - and what they say about film location catering is absolutely 100% true - Delicious!! In spite of the exercise I've gained a pound or two!!
