What was Robert's biggest laugh ever?

Robert Gillespie is a born storyteller, funny and growly - his is a tale told from the grubby shop floor as well as the glamorous red carpet. He became a household name, stopped in the street by an amused and friendly public. But that wasn't the half of it...

Robert's colourful descriptions of the world of the actor manager, the art of film, of commercial theatre, rep, ground-breaking fringe theatre, television, TV comedy, directing and producing in theatre, writing satire, of the surreal world of commercials, are satisfying and highly entertaining. It's a unique look at nearly three-quarters of a century of show-biz.
