I am delighted to confirm that i will be playing the role of TV's outrageous gay icon 'Billy Simpson' alongside Jim Davidson, Dave Lee, Rachael Barrington, Matt Blaize and Vicky Hughes in a brand new comedy play 'Stand Up And Be Counted'.
Written & Directed by Jim Davidson, Stand Up And Be Counted is a hysterical and hard hitting look into the world of stand up comedy, as old school Eddie Pierce (Jim Davidson) faces up to the cream of new comedians including Earl T Laurence (Matt Blaize) who is politically correct, brilliant...and black!
STAND UP...and be counted gives you a ringside seat as gay icon Billy Simpson (thats me!!) and TV's newest talent Ellie Jayne (Rachael Barrington) share a dressing room with Britain's most controversial comedian Eddie Pierce.
The pull no punches play, is full of drama and comedy and provides you with a look inside the minds of these troubled comedians!
Stand Up And Be Counted goes out on a full UK tour from March 2011. The play runs for a week at each venue, playing in locations including Dartford, Glasgow, Dunfermline, Croydon, Swansea and Southampton. Tickets for Southampton's Mayflower Theatre 7th-12th March are now on sale.
