Reviews

Cheryl Brown: 08Dec22:
Absolutely fantastic show. Very thought provoking and it gave us a real insight into the life of Les. It was executed brilliantly. It really felt like Les Dawson himself was on stage. Loved it!!!!

Saw him in Southend. He's a great impressionist but it felt just too long the woman in front fell asleep. Also the row we were on didn't return after the break.

Gazdoubleu : 21Oct22:
Would have been fitting to do a show in Blackpool or even Lowther Pavillion, Lytham St Annes
