| A funny thing happened... |
|
Terry's a stand up comedian and actor who is currently at the Edinburgh Fringe. About 18 months back we had a client who wanted someone to write a script and play a spoof client to appear at a sales conference and who would present a case study of how they used the company's product. The firm in question was an air conditioning company and Terry played the role of an eastern european business owner. As the presentation progressed it became apparent that the "hot sweaty conditions" his female staff had to put up with, and had been alleviated through the installation of their units, was what is legally known as a "disorderly house"! Once the audience realised it was a send up, they were in fits of laughter and he was invited back later on for a full stand up set. |
| Penny mountaineering update |
|
Penny was part of a team accompanying Dave Pagden who has Cerebral Palsy, and who set a number of records including going higher than any disabled person ever. Congratulations to them all. |
| And finally...the C Word |
This
section is used to highlight speakers and presenters at the lower end
of the budget scale. We would never use the C Word - cheap - to describe
them, but they certainly represent excellent value for money. This month's
entry is Rob
Nothman.
Rob's a Radio 5 Live presenter and producer who has covered Olympic Games, World Cups, Wimbledon, Ryder Cups, and all the golf majors and has interviewed the likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Pele, Shane Warne and Lester Piggott. As a speaker he has a host of anecdotes from the world of broadcasting and can give a unique insight into interviewing some of the biggest names in sport often when they have just lost or are doing badly! |
