Celeb Stand-In
4/6/98-6/6/98
4 June 1998 - CELEB STAND-IN
I've been given the job of impersonating celebrities when they get sick, or sent to prison for a while.
Last night I had to stand in for former Tomorrow's World presenter Howard Stapleford, who had been booked as after-dinner speaker at a sort of science thing. Unfortunately, I misread my briefing, and thought I was meant to be impersonating Howard Hughes. You should have seen the look of surprise on the faces of the crowd when I became a recluse and designed the largest seaplane ever conceived.
5 June 1998 - CELEB STAND-IN
I've been given the job of impersonating celebrities when they get sick, or sent to prison for a while.
Last night I had to stand in for Winnie Mandela and give a talk on apartheid. Unfortunately, I spilt coffee over my commission, and smudged the ink. As a result it read that I had to impersonate Prime Minister Winston Churchill. You should have seen the look of surprise on the faces of the crowd when I turned up in the back of a hearse, complete with all the trimmings of a full state funeral.
6 June 1998 - CELEB STAND-IN
I've been given the job of impersonating celebrities when they get sick, or sent to prison for a while.
Yesterday I had to open a new petrol station as veteran comedy writer Barry Cryer. Unfortunately, I sat on part of my commission, and tore it. As a result, the smudged document read that I had to impersonate Sergeant Cryer out of The Bill. You should have seen the baffled look on the faces of the assembled petrol fans when I turned up in a police costume with a huge prosthetic nose fashioned from putty.
