For many years people thought that the great emperor Napoleon Bonaparte ended his days on the desolate island of St Helena in the wild south Atlantic. However, history has been misguided as the greatest military mind of all time is happily living in "Chateau de Brum" i Birmingham in the West Midlands!
You may have seen his many YOU TUBE films where amongst themes he has sent messages to Her Majesty the Queen and President Macron as well as his very popular Christmas and Easter messages.
Napoleon not only brings historic facts alive like his desire to live in Torquay, in an accessible, amusing way but also tells of his new life in modern day England, getting lost in a Birmingham shopping mall, his untold love of football and brings to the stage his beloved Martinique Marvel, Josephine Bonaparte! Napoleon's story is memorable, witty, lively with degrees of pathos.
Since coming to live in this "Sweet little island," he has delighted audiences ranging from the WI to Anglo/French clubs as well as appearing at cabaret venues and has even performed in his own Panto! (oh yes he has!) He would now love to travel more of England. he knows that he never conquered this "Green and pleasant" land but would love to come and visit much more.
