Fundraising evening at Theatre Royal with Christopher Biggins and Lesley Joseph in conversation

A fundraising evening of conversation is taking place at the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, on Thursday, July 1, between Christopher Biggins and Lesley Joseph, who will be talking about their lives and work.

In addition to being on stage (with a live audience), the event will also be live streamed via Zoom.

Biggins hosted Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds “The Love Gala” in 2018 and from “Porridge” to “I’m A Celebrity”, he has graced our TV screens for over 30 years.

The talented actor, humourist, writer, general raconteur and popular pantomime dame counts the world’s most glamorous stars as his best friends and brings his own inimitable sense of humour and warmth to any production.

He started his training at Salisbury Repertory Theatre and later at Bristol Old Vic as a prelude to his first West End appearance – creating the role of Head Jumbly in “The Owl and The Pussycat Went to Sea”.

Joseph is best known for playing Dorien Green in the television sitcom “Birds of a Feather” from 1989 to 1998 and again from 2014 to 2017.

Other television credits include “Absurd Person Singular” (1985) and “Night and Day” (2001–2003).

Her stage roles include UK touring productions of “Thoroughly Modern Millie” (2005), “Calendar Girls” (2011) and “Annie” (2015).

In 2018, she was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, for the original West End production of “Young Frankenstein”.

This event is part of the theatre’s Spring Season sponsored by Ellisons Solicitors and is a fundraiser in support of Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds.
