Pyramus and Thisbe Productions - TWICE NIGHTLY
Fri 26 - Sat 27 June, 7.30pm! 🎭

A celebration of the glory days of Variety with Dominic Goodwin

Freddie Francis has been a second spot comic for thirty years touring the country on every variety bill going. We find him in 1956 recalling his life spent touring the halls; the ups, the downs, the riotous, the fantastic and the downright silly! He recalls his days entertaining the troops during the war, playing at the infamous Glasgow Empire, and we discover what really happened when a speciality act lost her snake on stage!!

Ultimately Twice Nightly is a fading memory of the variety stage. The death of something that has been part of everyone’s life for decades is now on the decline. Where will Freddie go whenhe finishes this tour? Who will he go back to, and ultimately who really cares? Twice Nightly also includes routines from amongst others: Max Miller, Rob Wilton, Jimmy James and Norman Evans and renditions of many of the popular songs of the time, such as The Man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo, Happy days are here again and Goodnight Sweetheart

We opened last Thursday at The Ropewalk at Barton upon Humber, a fabaroonie night! Lots of laughter and the audience were with me all the way! I just managed to shake them off at Crewe!! Twice Nightly is off and running! Some lovely comments: “Your show is a tonic!” “There are more laughs in your show than any other show I’ve seen recently!” “Echoes of your show keeps resonating with me, it was superb!” A good start to the tour.

Well Twice Nightly is nearly there! We’ve just had a fabulous week at The lovely Swallow Theatre getting the show up and on its feet with the dear man that is Thomas Frere the photos (in the comments) give a flavour of it all. The final pic is the beautiful Clatteringshaws Loch which I passed on my way home for a moment of quiet reflection.
Huge thank you to everyone who has donated to the cause. I have hit 2 and a half stone off, although that is part of a much bigger journey. Some of the folk who have put money in I know could ill afford it, which makes it all the more special. To be honest I have cried a few tears over people’s kindness as it means the world and I hope to see you all on the tour.
I attach the link here, just in case anyone who hasn’t - fancies chucking in! It’ll be the last time I bombard you.

Mornin all, well the weight continues to drop! I’m now 2 stone 4lbs down with just 3lbs to go before my first mini target! I’m tickled pink! No longer a bottle of wine every day (honest!) but the occasional gin and slim!
Arrangements for the tour of Twice Nightly are coming on a-pace! Props, set and cozzies are ready (isn’t Vinted a boon!). And lines are bedding down in my head.
A huge thank you to everyone who has put in so far, I can’t tell you the difference it has made to my stress levels! You’re all marvels!

The weight loss is progressing well, I’m next weighed on Monday! In the meantime a huge thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! To have had support like this is fantastic. I’ve been talking to Ronnie Taylor’s two daughters who have given me permission to perform his “Over the garden wall” sketch made famous by the great Norman Evans. More updates to follow…

Suddenly my tour of Twice Nightly is looming! The tour schedule and rehearsal reels will appear here soon…

15/05/2024

We’re going back out in Yorkshire with a few gigs of Holmes and Watson! More titters assured! Leyburn Methodist Church, York Explore, Seven Arts Leeds and North Ferriby Village Hall! See you there!

Stuart Fortey's madcap HOLMES AND WATSON: THE FAREWELL TOUR lives on! The show began it's life at Alnwick Playhouse back in 2009 and it seems that audiences still want to see the show!  275 performances so far and still more to come! 

18/11/2022

Well it’s nice for our final tour of the show to be back on the road! Holmes and Watson was written with rural touring in mind so to be back entertaining in Midlands villages is glorious! Rolleston tittered and laughed last night, Leadenham near Grantham tonight! Let the laughter continue! Thank you one and all ###
