FREDDIE DAVIES – “Mr. Parrot-Face” Himself.
Born in 1937, Freddie Davies’ amazing career has taken him from the tough working men’s clubs of the North East of England for thirty shillings a night (£1.50) to the Royal Shakespeare Company. Seasons at the famous London Palladium with Cliff Richard, television shows with the legendary Judy Garland, touring the world with his stand-up comedy act and counting among his many fans the late film idol Cary Grant. In a career spanning over 50 years in show business he has seen the demise of the music halls, variety dying along with the night club circuit during the sixties and seventies. Tonight, is a night to relive that time!!
Freddie was recently seen on TV appearing as the father in The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe. He is no stranger to the silver screen as well. He featured in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and starred in the critically acclaimed Disney film Funny Bones.
After the show you can meet Freddie Davies as he signs copies of his autobiography, “Funny Bones: My Life In Comedy”.
