Matt Ricardo's London Varieties

Mat Ricardo's London Varieties: Episode 3 (William Regal / Lenny Beige)

In a packed show this month the king of light entertainment Lenny Beige talks about his life as a cabaret superstar, and you'll hear his version of an Eminem classic. Also I sat in a broom cupboard backstage at the O2 Arena and chatted with professional wrestler William Regal about his life, career and love of British comedy. At the age of 15 he was taking on all comers on Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and now is one of the most beloved and respected performers in the WWE. He has quite the story. As an added bonus we've also included a lecture I gave at part of the ToMax talks project about how I got into variety and cabaret, and why it's so important to me. Thanks for listening!
