St.Helens Comedy Club with Roy Walker

A special night of comedy with Irish comedy legend and TV star Roy Walker. Well known to TV viewers through the ITV game show 'Catchphrase', Roy has emerged as one of the driest comedians in Britain today. His lugubrious style of humour, his dead-pan expression and his approach to entertaining have paid handsome dividends. His casual line in patter has endeared him to audiences all over the country. 'To be honest, when I am on stage, I'm just being myself,' he admits. 'I tried all the quick-fire, clever stuff when I started out in the business; but my Irish accent was such that no one could understand me. I had to slow down my delivery and the style just developed from there'. Roy broke through to national prominence in 1977 when he recorded the highest marks ever given to a comedian on television's New Faces talent show. It was the start of a television career that has seen him starring in many major TV variety shows. In 1987 Roy hosted his first series of Catchphrase which went on to become a very popular and high-rating addition to the ITV Network scheduling each year. More recently it has also been screened on Challenge TV. Roys like Ken Dodd he puts some shift in & has been known to stand the stage for over an hour, we also may roll with questions & answers of a few undercard/warm up comics to fill the night, Also on the bill will be our regular resident host MC & support act Mr. Tony Vino with his animated visual show memory man & attention to detail, in other words don't tell him anything!
