THE SHOW MUST GO ON
And here you'll find the guys who make it all happen. When the going gets tough these guys all pull together and put on a spurt, delivering the goods day in day out for your edification and delight...
QUARTER-INCH JACK:
This is Quarter-Inch Jack, our sound engineer. Jack's nickname, of course, relates to his equipment, and while many these days elect for the enhanced benefits of XLr, Jack prefers to stick with the tried and tested. He's not fussy where he plugs in, and though he's had a few shocks in the past he's managed to avoid any lasting damage, though he's blown a few stacks in his time...
ROSIE CHEAKES:
With a major production like "Tunbridge Wells: The Musical!" it's important to get every detail just right. Rosie, when sober, is probably the best makeup artist within our working radius / price range and she's happy to double up as Kernel Sanders' fluffer when his down is in need of a primp. When not working Rosie can often be seen walking her dog on Tunbridge Wells' uncommonly lovely common or consuming gin in one of the many inns she blesses with her custom...
DICK "SMUDGER" SMIFF:
Smudger Smiff (two "F"s) drives our tour bus when we're out and about and does it exceptionally well for a recovering alcoholic. Always shaking but never stirred, Smudger's calm and assured control of the minibus in even the most extreme of conditions, be it blizzard, flood or the M25, keeps us rested and at ease for the rigours of performance. He gives a lovely massage too, and always leaves us smiling and nicely loosened...
MAVIS WHELK:
Mavis is our Catering Manager when we're filming on location. You would be astounded by what she can rustle up on her little Camping Gaz stove from only foraged ingredients. She cooks a mean squirrel stew and does things with mushrooms that will blow your mind. Mavis trained under celebrated celebrity chef Tom Kedgeree, who also taught her how to cook: what Mavis doesn't know about Gastro isn't worth knowing. Mavis is also a fully trained enterologist...
LIONEL SPANKS:
Lionel is the GF3's go-to choreographer, with an outstanding track record in musical theatre and avant garde ballet. His groundbreaking work on the Chuckle Brothers' 2015 "From me to you to me" tour won him a golden glob nomination for best clog dance and he was also shortlisted that year for the Billy Butlins Chalice after choreographing several numbers for the ill-fated Les Dennis comeback vehicle "Redcoats on Parade" at the Centre Stage, Minehead...
Well, that's about it for now but remember to check back regularly to see who else makes it into our "Rogue's Gallery"
