We also completed a month residency at PJ Live Arts, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia working with Gardner & Wife.

The play was based on the award-winning children’s book by Anna Kemp and Sara Ogilvie and was devised by Bill Davies and the cast. In the show I would play multiple characters, sing, dance, puppeteer and run sound behind the set. The production changed daily depending on the venue and audience.

The Easter Story
March – April 2017

Toured two productions with Rainbow Theatre around the South-West of England taking the Easter Story and Great Fire of London around many schools.
This production had songs, dances and comedy to accompany the foreboding narrative, however the most interesting factor was performing in the round and having 36 children join the show. The cast would brief the children prior to the show and give them costumes, teach them their lines and show them ways to physicalise their roles.

“EASTER STORY has been seen by over 35,000 children over the past SIXTEEN years. The show is suitable for ages from 5 — 12 as Rainbow actors adapt their performance to each individual audience.”

Dino-Puppeteer

Halloween Unfairground

Freak Show – Halloween Unfairground
Showman – Show Captain
Grand Pier
October 2018

For my second run as a scare actor, I had the horrific pleasure of supervising and haunting the Grand Pier’s first scare maze – Freak Show. Our maze was filled with crawling tunnels, caged freaks, crazed mystics and madmen with knives and chainsaws.
I would greet our guests, lining them up, spliting into groups of six and warning them sharply that they must not touch any of the actors.
As I ushered them into the dark tunnels of my Freak Show, I’d thrill, excite and scare each group with a loosely scripted speech. By having the opportunity to improvise, I was able to control the timing throughout the rest of the maze. And if I wanted a group to hurry up… then I would simply chase them down the dark tunnels into the waiting arms of our crazed clown!
Performing at the Grand Pier was a true test of my skills and I loved every single second of that terrifying experience.

The Battle of Cambrai

Lance Corporal Alfred Brisco
Royal Tank Garrison – Tidworth
ADA – Actors Direct Associates
Costume provided by Flame Torbay Costume Hire Ltd
December 2017

For the 100th Anniversary of The Battle of Cambrai, The Royal Tank Garrison commissioned an actor to enter the Officer’s mess and re-tell the event from a soldier’s perspective.
Working with ADA, we collected a selection of text from the soldiers, officers and politicians concerning the Battle and edited them together to create a verbatim speech to be performed.
On the night, I arrived at the Royal Tank Garrison in secret and awaited my signal. Once the Commander’s hammer hit the table, I burst into the room filled with 140 officers. Men, women, partners, old and young, active and retired, all stopped and stared. The room fell silent and I announced myself. Lance Corporal Alfred Brisco. I told his perspective of the harrowing battle for 10 minutes and sung ‘I vow to thee my country’ to the officers.
I wished them all good night and returned an hour later to have photos with them all.
It was the most terrifying experience I’ve had so far as an actor… but it was also the most vital. It was honest and raw and real. I felt honoured to be speaking the words of those who fought for our freedom and pride to be standing beside those who serve us now.
It was a pleasure working with the Royal Tank Garrison, ADA and Flame Torbay.

Charlie & The Chocolate Ball

Willy Wonka
National Museum Cardiff
Optometry Society
Costume provided by Merlin Entertainments
March 2017

After collecting my tailored costume of Xander from Chessington World of Adventures Resort, I travelled to the National Museum Cardiff to meet the Optometry Society.
I was promptly greeted by the glorious foyer which was decorated pristinely with sweets and vibrant colour. A chocolate fountain adorned one corner and a quaint photo booth was being set up in the other. Caterers bustled past with wine and food and decorations. At the centre of it was a large projection screen ready to award the students from the Optometry Society with photos and memories.
I assisted with laying out the individual gifts for each of the visitors and changed into Mr Willy Wonka. I was accompanied by a pair of Oompa Loompas, faces orange with delight and hair green with envy, as we served out sweets, socialised and greeted the guests upstairs in the art gallery. We travelled down and mingled with them all during the first course and left as the night grew late and the Oompa Loompas required their sleep!

Trick or Treat Woods

Xander – Show Captain
Worked as a Sound and Light Technician
Chessington World of Adventures Resort
Merlin Entertainments
September – October 2016

Worked over the Halloween season to initially assist in the construction of the two scare attractions at Chessington World of Adventures Resort, ‘Curse of the Lost Tomb’ and ‘Trick or Treat Wood’. This role also consisted of tech support for several of the shows on site including ‘Pandamonium’, ‘Animal Antics’ and the ‘Sea Lion Show’.
Performed as Xander, half fairy and half pixie, acting in charge of ‘Trick or Treat Wood’ but as Show Captain I was actually in charge in reality.
My role was to greet guests into the attraction every two minutes and then decide which of the two paths they would travel down. This allowed an immense deal of solo improvisation and endurance over the two weeks and teamwork as I passed the group onto the next performer.
As Show Captain, I was responsible for the safety of the performers and guests on site during emergency evacuations or be the point of contact for security and management.

Professor Burp led personalised V.I.P tours of Bubbleworks at Chessington World of Adventures Resort to landmark the ride’s departure from the park on 6th September 2016.
He greeted the guests personally and joined them for the final ride of the day at Bubbleworks.
Next he walked them around the ride on foot and revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the changing history, mechanics and narrative of Bubbleworks.

“I have to say, I was very impressed! The guy playing Professor Burp was very funny, but most importantly (and somewhat suprising) he knew his stuff!”
