"Hale makes impression "THE STAGE"(Theatrical Newspaper).

Charlie Hale had the full measure of his audience and soon had them eating out of his hand. In addition to being a good gag teller he's got a fair old line in impressions, Nelson Mandela, Chris Eubank, David Beckham, Mike Tyson and that was barely half of it. The audience loved him! not only was he funny but also he was clean."At the Grand Hotel in Scarborough organised by Sky Television Charlie performed at a boxing dinner. Charlie stormed the night with his boxing impessions and very topical gags.After performing for over an hour he thoroughly deserved his standing ovation. (Boxing promoter Frank Maloney)

"A Cavalcade of Comics "THE STAGE" working his act from a large Punch & Judy type screen on stage, this talented and very imaginative entertainer brings a new and hilarious comedy idea in presentation. Following a good line in patter, he continued with tremendously funny send up impressions.He ended his act with a series of masks and puppets over the top of the screen, all complete with highly comical storylines which had us falling about with laughter".

Since gaining the coveted "Greenhall Whitley Comedian of the Year" award in 1990, Charlie has gone from strength to strength, working the length and breadth of the country, including visits to Northern Ireland, Germany, and SpainHis qualities as a stand up comic were showcased in 1992 when Granada TV brought 'The Comedians' back, but his real talents lie in his comedy impressions of politicians, soap stars, pop stars and sportsmen.In particular his superb send up of Chris Eubank, equalled only by Chris himself! Charlie's sheer brilliance has lead to various TV shows including his own ½ hour show on Sky One.Some of the names Charlie has worked with on TV are Beverly Knight, Shola Alma, Roland Gift (Fine Young Cannibals), Heather Small (M People), Mica Paris, Grace Jones, Robbie Williams on Hanger 17.

Charlie's act has already taken the coparate world by storm and coupled with his own sporting background (he is an ex pro footballer) he has proved a huge success on the After Dinner market. Charlie's flexibility allows him to entertain any type of audience.Charlie's appeared on five tours with the greatest middleweight boxer ever, Marvellous Marvin Hagler.In conclusion Charlie is always in demand, as he is a clean and honest comedian (ask his accountant) who does not swear and is the same whether he is entertaining a family audience or five hundred men at a sporting dinner.

Onside in the New Year

noreply@blogger.com (Peter) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 22:35:00 +0000

ONSIDE FEBRUARY 6th 2009 The Bishop of Grantham

Tim Ellis, 52, is a season ticket-holder at Sheffield Wednesday and has worn his earring since he was 18.

He may not conform to the traditional stereotype of a bishop, but he says people have got used to his individual style during his previous work in the county.

Dr Ellis said: "I had the earring put in when I was 18. It's become part of me and people regard it as part of my personality. I literally never take it off.

"The interesting thing is most people don't react to it at all. It's actually people outside the church who find it surprising and, surprisingly, young people too.

"I also wear a Make Poverty History bracelet, which makes a very serious point about the poor of the world. We have the wherewithal and power to rid the world of poverty and starvation and hunger.

"Of the two pieces of jewellery I wear, that is the one I'd like people to focus on."

Dr Ellis said: "Our churches are largely empty of young people at the moment, but they are our lifeblood and can stir us into new life. We have much to learn about life from the young.

"I hope we can help the Church of England in south Lincolnshire into the premier league."

November Onside

noreply@blogger.com (Peter) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:47:00 +0000

Future Onside Speakers

Friday 28th November Nick Battle

Nick’s high flying career over the past thirty years in the music industry has

seen him introduce the Spice Girls to their music publishers, co-write songs

with Gary Barlow from Take That and work with Simon Cowell.

In fact it is perhaps easier to list the people he hasn’t worked with!

He has by Gods grace endured great tragedy and through the good

times and the bad Nick has always held on to his Christian

faith it sustained him through his darkest days when he lost his wife

to breast cancer and was left with two young daughters to raise.

Nick is passionate about three things.... Jesus, his family and the written

word.

He has been called a mogul, an impresario and an entrepreneur.

None of which impresses him.

What he does care for, are people who have lost loved ones especially if they

have young families. Young musicians, worship leaders and songwriters.

And most important of all…. ‘The Lost’, who don’t yet know Jesus.

He is a mans man who will frequently call a spade a shovel, and yet women

also like him for his sensitivity.

At the encouragement of his friend and mentor J John he has founded Gravel

Road Ministries and he hopes to pursue this calling through writing books,

articles for newspapers and magazines and speaking anywhere God wants to

take him.

He lives in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire with his wife Nicky, daughters Misha

& Jodie, son Jesse and his dog Max.

Nick is an Associate of The Philo Trust and is published by Authentic Media.

His new book , ‘The Daily Male’, is due for release in August this year.

'I was looking for an answer,

but I didn't know what the question was!'

My life began with a desperate search for something that would bring satisfaction, purpose, peace.

I tried endurance sports (climbing, mountaineering, riding motorcycles, canoeing, backpacking) I was hooked on the temporary high it gave, but always needed more.

I became a Police Officer thinking an exciting career would be the answer car chases and fights. I met Christians on duty they ultimately introduced me to Jesus.

Years later lost my career after 20 years service through injury on duty. Became a full time youth evangelist, worked voluntarily with CMA. Invited to become first full time UK President to change CMA from bike club to Mission to Bikers mindset. I now travel extensively in the UK, Europe, South Africa and the USA speaking at rallies and conferences.
