He talks about his books, cd's songs and poems, what he's been up to in Lockdown in 2020 and what he can do to continue to entertain you with his unique personalised ideas.
We have quite a serious chat about talent shows of which Richard has never needed to take part in.

Stand Up Comedian, Voice Over artiste, Radio and road DJ, soothing voice guy Miles talks to me about his Horse Riding & Tennis, his moments warming up some of the most memorable TV shows as well as hosting the Cabaret/Comedy events at Glastonbury Festival.
There's a great story about his audition for the part of Bernie Mac in The Autopsy for Bernie Mac and he's not just lying there, he actually plays Bernie before his sudden demise.
All in all sit back and enjoy the smooth vocals of Miles Crawford.

Hal Cruttenden is a brilliant comedian and writer and these days its difficult to stand out from the Stand ups but Hal does by miles. I can watch him for hours and have done thanks to his Stand Up Specials on DVD and Next Up.
We talk about so much in this hour and we talk about The Queen, Peter Kay, Spiderman, performing in Car Parks and more recently Hal's experience giving away Plasma, (not free TV's) and his choice to be a Blood Donor.
If there's anything I learned from this talk then it is that I love Hal even more than I did. He has incredible and likable energy that makes you want to see more and more, and we will.

One of todays Cabarets finest entertainers talks to Steve about her famous trio Fascinating Aida and her Solo career as well as touring, performing for Royalty and writing songs, as well as writing about losing her best friend. 
Steve & Dillie worked together in 2016 and Steve was taken by her instant loveable personality that lit up the room and he also joined the room in laughing out loud at this brilliant skill Dillie has for delivering a masterclass in Performance.

James Dreyfus starred in some of my favourite sitcoms Absolutely Fabulous, "BETTE" or Tom in Gimme Gimme Gimme or Kevin in The Thin Blue Line and many more including Voiceover work (Willow The Wisp) & parts in Drama such as Mount Pleasant & Film's including Notting Hill.
Another one of my favourite parts he played was one of his West End parts in The Producers.
Although James plays more serious roles these days I can't forget the laughter he brought me and my family time and time again and I get the chance to thank him personally.

Singer Songwriter and Comedian Bernie Flint talks to me about his big break on Opportunity Knocks. As well as working with Stan Boardman and Roy Walker. How he started to learn guitar in the Royal Navy and find out who the Three Amigos are?
Bernie tells me of the day he recorded his hit song with an orchestra and what it means to him as well as stories of working the Cruise Ships.
Bernie is one of my favourite entertainers to watch and he's a naturally funny guy as you will find when you follow him on facebook and since lockdown he started to record his "Palace Palace" venture which has me crying with laughter everytime.
Hope you enjoy Bernie Flint.
With Bernie's permission I dedicate this episode to his Brother Roy x

Phil Walker is one of the most known and popular Stand Ups out there and has performed for audiences in Comedy Clubs, Holiday parks, War Zones, Pantomime, TV, Theatre for many years gaining him the best experience. I admire comics that are so original and topical yet Phil still hasn't had that big break he deserves. I still hope he gets it, whether it's writing children's books, The Royal Variety, The Apollo who knows what's around the corner in our business?
If you are a young comic still learning and want some great tips then listening in as I talk to the Brilliant Phil Walker

Allan Stewart is an entertainer I love to watch. I first watched him in a show in Blackpool in 1995 that was so good I went back and watch it again. Allan is a well seasoned performer and has completed contracts in many Pantomimes, Summer Seasons, Musicals, TV Variety & his own TV Shows as well as constant Cruise Ship ventures around the world, he is very respected by his peers.
His story is fascinating from the age of 10 with support from his hard working and caring father to recording with George Martin at Abbey Road studios and getting the call for the Royal Variety Performance which at a time was the Holy Grail of any entertainers career.
I've never worked with Allan, but have always known that he's out there and have heard nothing but great things. 
Enjoy his story
