The Cheeky Chappie, 22nd July, 7:30 at
The
Croft Hall, Hungerford
The saucy seaside postcard world of Max Miller, Britain’s top
comedian in the '30s, '40s and '50s, Max Miller electrified
audiences with his audacious double entendres. Dave Sealey
brilliantly conjures the legendary stage persona with his saucy
jokes and gaudy plus-four suits, but also reveals the quiet,
unassuming man behind the brash performer, comparing him with such
celebrated contemporaries as George Formby, Arthur Askey, Rob Wilton
and other giants of the Variety theatre.
My Darling Clemmie, 24th July, 7:30 at
The
Croft Hall, Hungerford

Winston Churchill. Rohan McCullough has had a distinguished
theatrical career, most notably with her award-winning one-woman
shows, Testament of Youth and The Tale of Beatrix Potter, both of
