This is a talk taking you through through the classic age of British Situation Comedy with the behind the scenes look at some of the problems, gossip and funny tales of some of the best known actors and writers of Sit Com.
David can provide slides on his PC to remind you of some of these characters.
This is a very light hearted talk, and David is very happy to do a Q & A session, and/or natter over a cup of tea.
Due to it's popularity David now always ends his talk with some Tommy Cooper tricks, including the appearing bottles!
David's fee goes to the Arches Theatre which is a totally unfunded project.
