David thank you for such a eloquent respond to my blog: 'What's the bloody point!' I have responded.

On another note are you going to tour your Christmas Party this year?

Hi George
Well, I live in hope that a theatre in the Cambridge are will book one of my shows soon - it's been ages. best to keep a check on my tour dates page. Hopefully there will be some dates for 2010 going up soon.
re dvds: I have not had any commercially produced as yet (I should I know but it is expensive) but have copies of many of my shows that I can supply for costs only.
cheers

Any news if Think No Evil of Us and To Be Frank are going to be at Cambridge or nearby like London sometime? Will any of your shows be able to buy on DVD?

I certainly hope it won't be too long David. Really looking forward to seeing any of your shows especially Think No Evil Of Us.

Wish I knew when I would be back in the area. I am dependent on theatres booking me, once they get the info my producer sends out. At the moment my bookings for next year look a bit thin - must be the financial shenanigens going on at the moment. My tour dates will be posted on the site as soon as I get them. Hope it won't be too long before I revisit Devon.

Hi Rosalyn
Thanks for seeking me out and for your feedback after the show, which I was very interesting for me. I feel quite a responsibility towards anyone who has read Kenneth's diaries so closely, and who reveres him so much - I owe it to you and to him to get it right! Do have a look at my Amazon store for that cd Private World of Kenneth Williams, a Radio 4 series of which I am very proud featuring readings from the diaries and clips of Kenneth in performance. Hope to be back to Lowestoft before too long!


Well revere is not the word I'd have chosen, but maybe 'fascinated by'. The difference in what the general public saw and the real person underneath, and the struggles he had with himself. He was a very enigmatic man. Do come back to Lowestoft soon - I think some of your other shows look really good

Hi, I really enjoyed your show last night. There was a lot more to it than I'd anticipated and it was really entertaining. Maybe I should have had one less glass of wine though - hope I didn't run on too much!

Hi Michelle - how nice you were at both my Scots shows this month, on different coasts of the country! My touring for this year is almost at an end, so am making the most of it! Thanks again so much for your support of my work and hope to catch up again before too long.
