Personal Quote:

In 1988: It's funny how the brain works. I can be standing there singing the Nightmare Song from 'Iolanthe," looking out at a woman in the audience wearing a hat and thinking 'My God, that hat is so big the man behind her can't see.' And the works keep coming with no problem. See more »

Trivia:

He was the fifth man to inhabit roles regularly for the D'Oyly Carte. The previous four men were comics, George Grossmith, Henry Lytton, Martyn Green, and Peter Pratt who was his predecessor and mentor. See more »
