Eyes And Teeth

Richard Franks was brought to my attention in 2020 when I would see his face all over twitter and it wasn't until I stopped and found time to watch a clip and then another and then you get hooked and wait for his next creation. There is "If mums behave like cabin crew" or "Dancing at the family party" or Annoying things you hear at the office" etc, the premise is funny but just watch his facial expressions and funny bones, he uses his comedy timing, acting skills and brilliance in delivery to share these funny short videos for the whole family. This is just one side of Richard Franks Comedy so listen to our chat and see where he came from and where he is going.

Nikolas Bushi is a young Comedy ventriloquist and magician inspired by his father Dashnor. I caught Nikolas on the Kentucky ventriloquist convention via youtube and saw something special about his talent. Not only did he remind me and my wife of me when i started but I saw huge potential and just wanted to congratulate him.
We met on Zoom and I passed on some little wisdom I have learnt and he went away and enhanced what he already had and more. He's a great performer and in addition he can sing great too, so now I am watching him grow into this excellent performer.

You too can watch his progress regularly and jon his 300,000+ followers on Tik Tok.

Welcome to Eyes & Teeth Nikolas Bushi

Danny named after the famous Danny Kaye comes from a theatrical family. His mother was a Royal Ballet and Bluebell Dancer and his father the late comedian Ted Rogers.
 
 Danny first took to the stage after mimicking his father in the wings, leading him to play a part in Bernie Clifton’s act. Starting in the entertainment business, he wanted to learn the tricks of the trade and became a Butlin’s Redcoat, leading to summer seasons as an entertainer in Mallorca and Warner Leisure Hotels.
 
 He studied at the University of Chichester, where he gained a degree in Musical Theatre where he played Mr. Peachum - The Beggars Opera, Emcee - Cabaret and The Wolf - Into the Woods. He also co-wrote a celebration of the work of Cole Porter and played the great man in Unmistakably Cole Porter (Chichester Festival Theatre).
 
 Danny loves children’s theatre and has most recently toured across the country playing Baloo in The Jungle Book (UK tour), other children’s touring shows include Squirmtum in the CBeebies Television Show Tree Fu Tom Live and Big Bird and Telly Monster in Sesame Street’s Theatre Show Make a New Friend (International world tour).

His latest project, Bin & Gone, a one man play about his late father, has received a great success at the Brighton Fringe Festival 2018/19. From this success the show has toured the UK and Danny plans to take the show to the Edinburgh Fringe.

He is one half of a double act with comedy partner Jamie Clarricoates called Danny and Jamie and with their combination of comedy sketches, songs and dancing, they were thrilled to be asked to perform last year at the 'Paradise for Old Pro’s' at Brinsworth House.

Pantomime being his favourite season and certainly no stranger to it, having played parts across the country as Seadog Billy - Pirates of the Pavilion (Weymouth Pavilion Theatre), Muddles in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Tivoli Theatre), Idle Jack - Dick Whittington (Leatherhead Theatre), Jack -Jack and the Beanstalk (North Pier Theatre, Blackpool), Aladdin - Aladdin (Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight), Idle Jack - Dick Whittington (Lowther Pavilion, Lytham St Anne’s), Dandini - Cinderella (Grand Opera House, York) and PC Pong - Aladdin (Malvern Festival Theatre).

Danny is a credit to this business of ours and still to be discovered on Television but that I'm sure is just around the corner.

The Grumbleweeds story began in Leeds in 1962, when the group was first formed by Robin Colvill.  They spent the next few years undertaking the usual round of clubs and pubs in their native Yorkshire and overseas engagements in German, playing alongside bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and many others.  They turned fully professional in 1967, following an appearance on BBC TV's 'Opportunity Knocks' – an early version of today's X Factor show. 

They went on to appear on the show 'Max Bygraves Meets New Faces', courtesy of Johnny Hamp, who nearly 20 years later masterminded their popular TV series, ambiguously titled 'The Grumbleweeds Radio Show'

In 2013, Robin was joined by his close friend and first-class actor, singer and comedian James Brandon, James, himself a stand-up comic, took the role of straight man to Robin's hapless idiot.  Interestingly, it is the first-time in the history of comedy that the straight man has switched places to take on the role of the clown in the act. Their first appearance as the new act was in 'Aladdin' at Hull's New Theatre. To say their performance was a success is a vast understatement, heralded by their peers as even funnier than before.

There are very few acts in the history of UK comedy that can stand the test of time and who can boast such a proud theatrical history as The Grumbleweeds.

Listen to Robin Colvill telling his own story of Juke Boxes to the height of Television Success.
