Assembly Festival

Admin

I last played the Fringe 50 years ago and I can finally afford to come back. After a career that encompasses thirty odd - sometimes very odd - West End plays together with TV, radio, films, books, magazine columns and BT ads, I want to frighten myself into retirement by facing my audience, over the edge of a stage, in my very own show. Join me for an evening of rave, rollick and rant - with sublime music from Jacqui Dankworth and Charlie Wood.
