Bobby has been making British audiences laugh for over 25 years. He made his TV debut in 1981, though his breakthrough came with an appearance on the variety show Live at Her Majesty’s Theatre in 1983. This led to his own Saturday night series Davro, Bobby Davro on the Box, Bobby’s Sketch Pad and Bobby’s TV Weekly all of which topped the ratings over a period of six consecutive years. Now established in the top flight of entertainers, Bobby moved to the BBC and made three new series, Public Enemy Number One, Rock With Laughter and Run The Risk.
In 1997 he hosted Yorkshire Television’s Winner Takes All for 65 programmes. A gifted singer Bobby toured the UK with ‘Swingin’ a tribute to the songs and music of Frank Sinatra featuring his own 15-piece orchestra and international recording star Kenny Lynch.
Bobby moved into more serious acting in 2006 when he joined the cast of Britain’s top TV nightly drama Eastenders as lovable cockney rogue Vinnie Monks. He is no stranger to pantomime, and is well-known for having the audiences rolling in the aisles!
Alongside Bobby, West End leading lady Louise Dearman will be bringing her natural sparkle to the role of Cinderella. Louise is one of the leading vocalists of her generation with a versatility that is admired throughout the entertainment industry. Making her professional stage debut at the age of twelve in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the London Palladium as part of the children’s choir, she then went on to train professionally in all aspects of musical theatre. Upon graduating Louise joined the UK tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat this time playing the lead role of Narrator. Since then Louise has appeared in numerous West End productions including Grease, Kiss Me Kate, Guys and Dolls and Make Me A Song, and numerous tours from Whistle Down the Wind to Jekyll and Hyde – The Musical. In panto Louise played Cinderella opposite Jonathan Wilkes at the Regent Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent and Fairy Godmother with Gareth Gates last Christmas at the Wimbledon Theatre.
