The performances that confused the Blackpool Showzam bookers: for the Ballroom, or the end of the pier? In the end they put Iestyn in both.
As heard by Her Majesty, and on Desert Island Discs, Midweek, Woman’s Hour and Loose Ends, part one is a musical revue. Hearing along the way songs by Richard Rodgers, Shermann and Shermann, Cole Porter, Ivor Novello et al, we follow Iestyn in his tutu on Combined Services Entertainment tours through Iraq and Afghanistan in the company of Her Majesty’s Finest. Hoiked onto the “Naughty Tank” on base in Iraq for being lippy to Royal Marines Commando ‘Stacks’, Iestyn had to sing for his supper – or at least to be lifted down again.
‘Hilarious and touching stories…his singing makes me cry every time…proud is not the word! Go Tutu Boy. You rock!’
Joanna Lumley.
In part two Iestyn morphs into his legendary Russian Prima Ballerina Madame Galina. Part panto dame, part clown, part stand up, total hit!
“This extraordinary character has to be the result of a drunken one-night stand between Tommy Cooper and Margot Fonteyn”.
