For instance

Christmas 2005 I was honoured to appear on stage, in Panto, as the tallest Dwarf in showbiz history: Stumpy, appearing in front of more than 130,000 punters on 82 performances of Snow White at Milton Keynes Theatre.Treading the boards alongside a full cast inc: Richard O'Brien, Toyah, Suzanne Shaw, singers and the most graceful dancers to fly across a stage: Joanna Taylor, Frankie Sibthorpe, Lauri Owen, Sarah Amos, Ashley Nottingham, Luke Redford, Daniel Boyle and Madison Cole. But more to the point, The Dwarfs. Ricky, Hayley, Keijo, Sammy, Belle our supersub, "Ram It" Ray Griffith and Warwick Davis (Harry Potter/Star Wars/ Willow/Ray) - without doubt, the coolest gang I've ever been part of. Magical

During my time treading the boards, I've had the extreme honour and absolute pleasure of working with some truly outstanding artists, wonderful musicians, magnificent performers, tremendous technicians and two full blown geniuses. I've also had the misfortune to have suffered a few talentless bums and the odd drunken liability.
