What's On - May
Saturday 9 May, 8pm
PROMENADE PROMOTIONS LTD. IN ASSOCIATION WITH RICHMOND THEATRE ROYAL PRESENT:
DAN LENO – THE KING’S JESTER
Dan Leno was the most famous and highly paid music hall artist of the age, but ended his life incarcerated in a lunatic asylum at just 43 years of age. Billed as 'The Funniest Man on Earth', he created the modern pantomime role of the Dame and what is now called 'stand up comedy'. With live musical accompaniment, this romp through entertainment history brings the Nineteenth Century showman to life and with it an understanding of how British comedy has evolved.
Following the phenomenal success of 'Joey – King of Clowns', comes Tony Lidington's latest 1-man show on the lives of the great British Clowns.
"Here is a show to be admired, respected, enjoyed and cheered."
The Stage review of 'Joey – King of Clowns'
Tickets £8/£6
