Simon Cartwright is an extraordinary actor/performer, he does something wonderful for fans of certain comedy icons such as Frankie Howard & Bob Monkhouse, he brings them back to life with his 100% portrayals, he doesn’t just try their voice he lives and breathes their mannerisms and facial expressions, I mean extraordinary is an understatement. 
I'll leave the conversation to the man himself
Welcome to Eyes and Teeth edition 116 Simon Cartwright

The night I became a Water Rat I was so proud to see a large attendance including a few ventriloquists including Roger De Courcey, John Bouchier & Alan Simmons.
Alan is a comedy performer who started in this business of show recording pop records, joining a very successful comedy duo with his brother Keith who performed on record TV shows and pantomimes and summer seasons for decades. They are known by and have worked with the best in the business and they would have had their TV Success after an offer of a series but Alan explains what happened when that was taken away.

Alan's brother Dennis was a ventriloquist but was taken far too young and after deciding to leave The Simmons Brothers he took up that vent act that he started years before the double act. Alan has wonderful stories to share including when he met his lovely Julia also a performer.

Stand Up Comedian Adrian Walsh is a masterclass to watch and listen too.
Any upcoming comic can learn by his advice and enjoy the laughs along the way. I'm a big admirer of Adrian's work and positivity outlook. he truly has has some hard obstacles to overcome yet he comes back fighting. He is a very generous and genuine being and a joy to listen too.
Enjoy my chat with Adrian which took part last Summer in the midst of 2020.

We're half way through "Lockdown Two The Sequel", so we turn our attention to what is available as streamed content and review three recent offerings and we have suggestions for more. We think about the possibilities that may come if an effective vaccine is available and look forward to a time when real theatre is available to us all again. Cliff is brave enough to mention the C word as our next show will be early in December and we talk about the sad loss of Bobby Ball and Des O Conner who both graced the Traditional Panto stage in the past.

Jeff Stevenson has fulfilled a packed career in Comedy but he's just getting started having recently winning "Best Actor" in a recent 2020 film he made during Lockdown.
Here we talk about the movie Bugsy Malone, Only Fools and Horses, Cruises, Stand Up, Ventriloquists, Alan King, Des O Connor, Freddie Starr and much more...
