Freddie Valentine

ALL ROUND ENTERTAINER! Singer, dancer, comic, magician, hypnotist, psychic and chimp groomer.

About Me

I am one of the last of a dying breed - an all round entertainer, bringing variety to the masses.Along with Holly Blue, Barry Chester and Betty Blue we perform Freddie Valentine's Variety Showtime to the jaded British public in need of a modern form of music hall, or if you like, Victorian Freak Show.My musical director is the multi-talented Henry Crud who also produced and engineered my pilot radio show, Radio Valentine.I used to have an eleven piece backing band called The Paisley Wheelchair Experience but we parted due to musical differences - they like Oklahoma and I preferred The Sound of Music - so I wrote the album 'An Intimate Evening with', helped by the amazingly talented Henry Crud and performed the live show with the wonderful Barry Chester.My latest show, Freddie Valentine's Variety Showtime, is currently doing the rounds in London venues, assisted by Barry Chester, Holly Blue and Betty Blue. Our live favourite GILBERT AND GEORGE is availble to download here:You can hear excerpts from my radio show on www.myspace.com/radiovalentineBOLLY,BOLLY,BOLLY -catch it!MySpace Backgrounds - Free Image Hosting

Movies:

I like Carry On films (especially Abroad, Behind, Camping, Doctor and Screaming), School for Scoundrels, The Party, Up Pompeii, the best film trilogy ever - On The Buses, Hammer films, Frankenstein (1930's) films, The Invisible Man (1930's), the Mondo Cane films, Koyaanisqaatsi, St Trinians, Laurel & Hardy, the Doctor series particularly Doctor In Clover, the Confessions films, Father Came Too, The Fast Lady, The Plank, The Boys In Blue. Most British comedy films really from 40's to the 70's. I like a few Hollywood films - Star Wars, E.T. and Alien but depsise US comedies, the only ones I like being Weird Al Yankovic's UHF, Airplane and This Is Spinal Tap (though the Rutles is far superior!)
