At a recent Monaco Celebrity Lunch, Tony entertained a packed-to-capacity crowd in the Café de Paris with an hilarious speech that verged on the surreal and swept the audience on a voyage through this remarkable entertainer's life.
This is a man who would “pop into school for lunch and a game of football”, yet has more honorary MAs (five) than O'levels; a man who can't stand heights yet abseiled down a cliff while recreating A Day in the Life of a Viking; and whose worst job was being dropped in the proverbial brown stuff by John Wayne.
Hear it all at the Farmhouse on March7th, and please remember to book early as places are very limited for what is sure to be a highly popular and amusing occasion.
