Madame Tussauds

My First Job
As a School Boy Hobby I used to be the Town Crier of Spetisbury in Dorset.
Well, I finished Drama School and sat with my Friend Andy Owen at Le Gothique pouring over the Stage Newspaper. Madame Tussaudes wanted Street Entertainers for the summer keeping the lines happy.
A bit of quick thinking I thought a town Crier might be good.
Well so did they, I spent my first summer as an Actor outside the above building going Oyez. Mr Owen on the other Hand Start a Band Called Wild Valley. You have to start somewhere.

ALRA & Le Gothique


Here Is A Photo of The Royal Victoria Building where ALRA and Le Gothique are Housed.
Whilst Studying I was Lucky enough to get a Job working at Le Gothique and thank Mark Justin for Employing me when I graduated from ALRA in between Jobs as I started out.
Many Happy Moments were spent there, many laughs and hundreds of stories of adventure.
