Character comedian Troy Hawke, the 1930s throwback created by Milo McCabe, brings his show 'Never Stop, Never Change!' to the Oval Hall.
Troy Hawke plays the Oval Hall, Sheffield City Hall on Friday 20 November, starting at 19:30. If you've come across the name but aren't sure who he is, it helps to know that Troy Hawke is a character—an erudite, 1930s-style throwback who speaks in a formal, old-fashioned manner that feels entirely out of place in the twenty-first century. He's the creation of Michael Patrick 'Milo' McCabe, a multi-award-winning character comedian and television presenter who's been on the circuit for nearly two decades.
McCabe's background is a bit of a mixed bag: he's the son of 1970s comic Mike McCabe, he's trained in psychotherapy, and he once spent a stint as a professional drummer. Hawke is the act that finally broke through, exploding into the mainstream through guerrilla greeting videos—those clips of him appearing in public, perfectly dressed and speaking with an archaic politeness that catches people completely off guard. It's that same persona he brings to the stage, so if you've seen the videos, you've got a good idea of what to expect.
