Step back in time with the multi-talented Paul Kerensa in "An Evening of (Very) Old Radio," a unique one-man show that promises to both delight and educate. This comedic time-travel extravaganza will be hosted at the Danbury Leisure Centre on the 4th of October, 2024, and is an event not to be missed!
Paul Kerensa, an award-winning writer known for his work on hit British sitcoms like Miranda and Not Going Out, takes centre stage in this exceptional show. As a comedian, broadcast historian, and passionate storyteller, Paul delves into the intriguing origins of the BBC and radio broadcasting. His captivating storytelling prowess has been praised by renowned comedian Lee Mack, who describes Paul as a "top comic, top writer."
Prepare to be transported back to the roaring 20s as Paul brings to life key moments in broadcasting history with the aid of authentic artefacts. Attendees will experience the first BBC broadcast, the pioneering children’s show, gripping drama segments, and exhilarating sports commentaries through tales, clips, and vivid re-enactments.
In a portrayal filled with wit and historical insight, Paul embodies the dramatic feuds between Marconi’s pioneering employees. The disciplined first voice of the BBC clashes with his counterpart, the improvisational "Goon of his day," who spontaneously performed entire Italian operas on air!
Organised in collaboration with Danbury Parish Council and Applause Touring, this evening promises to be a significant cultural event in the local calendar. It's about more than just entertainment. It's a cultural experience designed to connect communities and foster creativity.
So, what's on? A comedy show by Paul Kerensa, acclaimed writer of Miranda and Not Going Out. Doors open at 7pm at Danbury Leisure Centre. Tickets are just £10 and can be booked online or at the reception of Danbury Leisure Centre.
