Showreels SLT Part 1 University SLT Part 2 Other Sacar/SAS SLT Part 3 Mind the Gap King Cobra Theatre
Updated: 23/08/17
I went to Queen Margaret University College in Edinburgh. It had, at the time, one of the top four drama courses in Scotland, and one of the top 10 in the UK. Whilst I was there, one of those on the acting course was recruited by Blue Peter, and more recently another of them got the part of Guenevere on Merlin. My fencing master was the former sparring partner of Bob Anderson, who choreographed virtually every swordfight in Hollywood between 1955 and 2010.
This was basically organised by the same people who did "Angel's Children", but was performed (mainly) by freshers. This was the first time I appeared as a Chorus of Mounties.
King Cobra was me and Ian Fellowes-Gordon - we had done The Lumberjack Song in "The Fresher's Cabaret". We shared a similar sense of humour, and for some reason we decided to collaborate on a sketch show when we found out that there would be no second Fresher's Cabaret.
After the success of the "Christmas Gig", Ian and I decided to follow it up with an end-of-year show. This turned out to be a bad idea, as apart from Ian unintentionally pissing off everyone who we would have liked to have been in it, it was so close to finals that only two people came to see it.
