About the Event
Join us for a performance by Jim Dale, one of the world’s great stage entertainers: actor, singer, director, author, lyricist, comedian, narrator and raconteur. At the age of seventeen he became the youngest professional comedian on the British Music Hall stage. Under the wing of Sir George Martin he became a successful pop star. At the request of Sir Laurence Olivier, he joined the British National Theatre. He starred in 28 films including 11 of the British “Carry On” series.
Dale was born in Rothwell, a small town in England and started training for his career at the age of nine. For six years he studied tap dancing, eccentric comedy dancing, judo, National dancing, ballet and tumbling. During these years he performed in many amateur shows and started to include comedy in his act.
At the age of seventeen he became the youngest professional comedian in Great Britain, touring all the famous Variety Music Halls. He joined the Royal Air Force at the age of eighteen and spent the next two years entertaining troops in England and Germany.
At the age of 22, he became the first recording artist under the wing of the now legendary “Beatles” recording manager, Sir George Martin, who produced many hit records for him over the next two years. He first appeared in, then hosted the two top music shows on British television, “6-5 Special” and “Thank Your Lucky Stars.”
