About the talkJoin fellow Boundless members for an entertaining afternoon with John Clithero, who will give a talk about the lives and laughter of Morecambe and Wise. Born in York and now living in Haxby, John took early retirement before becoming a freelance sports journalist and broadcaster, working with the BBC, national and regional newspapers, private sports agencies and the worldwide internet. With additional experience as an on-stage actor and singer, John was invited to become a guest speaker on cruise ships, delivering a wide range of presentations covering theatre, cinema, television, radio, music, musicals and sport. He has almost 40 different presentations in his portfolio. This presentation tells the story of how two talented young teenagers met and worked hard to become Britain’s best-loved comedy duo, enjoying a remarkable 40-year career together. It includes slides of many memorable moments from their stage and television appearances, with inevitable reference to ‘playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!’ With plenty of audience involvement, this promises to be an enjoyable afternoon of nostalgia, laughter and sunshine on a February afternoon. Free parking, along with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, will be available. |
