Satirical comedian Harry Enfield reflects on 40 years of comedy and brings back many of his favourite characters to the Milton Keynes Theatre.
Harry Enfield is coming to Milton Keynes Theatre on Thursday 19 November, playing solo under the title Harry Enfield and No Chums. It's just him on stage, reflecting on forty years in comedy and bringing back many of his favourite characters before taking questions from the audience.
If you've spent any time watching British telly over the last few decades, you'll know the names. He first exploded in the early nineties with Harry Enfield's Television Programme, which revived the spirit of Morecambe & Wise and Dick Emery and turned characters like Loadsamoney, Stavros, Smashie & Nicey and Mr You-Don't-Wanna-Do-It-Like-That into staples of British parlance. For a while there, a whole generation of teenagers were being branded 'Kevin' and loveable idiots were called 'Tim Nice-But-Dim'.
He's worked with some big names along the way, too. Alongside Kathy Burke, he gave the country Kevin & Perry, and later teamed up with Paul Whitehouse for the Harry & Paul sketch show. More recently, he played Martin, Alfie's father, opposite Jack Whitehall in BBC Three's Bad Education. He describes himself as a 'stupid idiot', and that's the kind of self-deprecating tone he's built his career on.
