Bobby Davro (Comedy, Impersonations and Gilbert O´Sullivan) 1982

This video can be watched in higher definition here    • Bobby Davro (Comedy, Impersonations and Gi...   The "Uptown at the Downtown" London variety show from 1982 filmed live at the Downtown Theatre and Restaurant at Surrey Docks in London. It is a bit blue... be warned! This footage was filmed just shortly before Davro became a household name in 1983 following his television breakthrough at "Live from Her Majesty's". Interestingly Lee Tracey, who introduces Bobby makes a flatteringly correct prediction whilst welcoming Mr Davro to the stage. This excerpt contains just Bobby´s act but the full cast of the original show included the other equally talented entertainers: Ronnie Twist, Tommy Osborne, Lee Tracey, Mrs Shufflewick, Dave Cooper, Sheila Lawrence, Bobby Davro and the Brian Williamson Trio. Davro to date has had a very successful showbiz career; a comedian, actor, singer & impressionist. Following his appearance on "Live from her Majesty´s" he went on to acquire his own Saturday night television shows "Davro On The Box‘, "Bobby’s Sketch Pad" and "TV Weekly". During the nineties he hosted "Winner Takes All" and more recently appeared in the long running TV soap "Eastenders" as Vince "Vinnie" Monks. Davro´s own idol was Gilbert O´Sullivan and in 2016 he said that O´Sullivan was "my hero and a great friend. I got his album for Christmas when I was 14 and I have everything he has done since. His music has been the soundtrack to my life. I love the melodic style". - Caroline Rees. The Express. 13/05/2016. Other footage from the show can be found on my "blue variety" playlist at "Vaudeville Funtimes" Sadly Chubby, Tommy "Dolly" Osborne and Mrs Shufflewick (Rex Jameson) are no longer with us. They are sadly missed and fondly remembered. This video has been posted in loving memory of my father Chubby Oates. Mum and I miss you so much.
