Unbutton your cardigans for a rib-cracking night out with Buzz Hawkins, singer/songwriter, story-teller, all-round funnyman, and of course award-winning writer, producer and voices of the wickedly funny radio favourites “The Bradshaws”...

  This unique and healthy (laughter is good for you!) experience with Buzz Hawkins could cause face-ache, wheezing, loss of breath, loss of dentures, sore ribs and temporary incontinence due to the unavoidable amount of laughing you have to do. Beware and be ready for a night out you'll never forget.

   Hawkins escapes from his padded cell window anytime somebody chucks him a grappling hook. The 'hook' is any chance to perform, and sometimes all it takes is one phone call with an offer he doesn't understand, and out comes the stage suit again - well, an iffy shirt, sawn-off pants, loud socks, and his much-loved pair of 1950's boots with holes in that somebody gave him (the boots not the holes).

    Over the years he's performed his stand-ups, cabarets, after-dinner speaking and sell-out shows all over the UK, occasionally popping over to Cyprus, Corfu, Menorca and Spain for international cabarets.

   Having written radio comedy for twenty-odd years, Hawkins' material is wide and seemingly endless. Some would believe though (understandably perhaps) that it's all nostalgia based therefore not for younger audiences. Wrong! Yes, nostalgia with The Bradshaws and seeing life through their eyes, but right on the button with clever comedy songs such as EeeWellYafTerLafAntYer, Father Fanakerpan's Secret, Country Billy Gerkin and The Pickle Stabbers, Raji Sing Song, Poor Old Norman, and the exquisite Sadie. And when Hawkins asks "It's catchy intit?" you'd be lying if you said no.

    His observation is on par with Billy Connolly, Frank Skinner, Clive James, Arthur Smith, Victoria Wood and Peter Kay (Peter's mam has all the tapes) and yet his take on it is totally unique.

    We defy you to put Hawkins in a bag! (please?!)

   Interesting fact: If you go to the Wikipedia website and search The Bradshaws you'll find that The Bradshaws have a section dedicated to them - but Buzz Hawkins doesn't! Are they a figment of his imagination or is he a figment of theirs?!

    And, if you've ever wondered what it feels like to stand in front of 2000 people and act daft, then this photo taken from the stage might give you some idea..
