Johnny Ball: My Previous Life in Comedy

Johnny will reveal his crazy Liverpool experiences, his encounters with The Beatles, Dusty Springfield, Roy Orbison, The Bee Gee’s, Ken Dodd and helping start Freddie Starr’s career. He was Bud Flanagan’s last ever TV straight man.

So come and sit back while Johnny tells of the more than one thing he lost on his honeymoon, “The man who robbed a bank and caught a bus home?” Plus the time the Duke of Edinburgh suggested a wife swap, with pictures to prove it!

Johnny Ball has inspired thousands through his children’s TV career. He was one of the hosts of Play School from 1967 onwards and a regular fixture on kids TV from the mid 70s onwards with science and technology programmes including Think of a Number and Johnny Ball Reveals All.
