It is an absolute pleasure to bring this month's headliner to you, at long last. Ronnie Golden is a genuine legend of alternative comedy, having been part of it from the very beginning. This is absolutely one of those shows you don't want to miss!Ronnie Golden's CV reads like a who's who, not just of British comedy but also of rock and roll.
As a teenage guitarist, he worked with such musical legends as Tom Jones, Scott Walker, Engelbert Humperdinck and even David Bowie before forming cult late 70s renegade band Fabulous Poodles, whose album Mirror Stars outsold both The Clash and The Jam in America in the early 80's.
Within a few short weeks of that band's demise he was a founder member of the equally legendary Comic Strip alongside Rik Mayall, Ben Elton, French and Saunders and Alexei Sayle and appeared as Buddy Holly in the first series of The Young Ones. A regular member of the Spitting Image team, He betrayed his musical roots to finally get his first number one single on The Chicken Song/We're Scared Of Bob.
He's played an MI6 agent alongside in Pierce Brosnan and Michael Caine in the 1986 movie The Fourth Protocol His six-piece piece R&B/soul outfit Ronnie and the Rex still perform their Club Senseless nights across London and have recorded three series of Radio 4's The Right Time. Now back doing regular stand-up, his current team of sparring partners includes the likes of Arthur Smith and Barry Cryer.
The show begins at 8pm in the barn at The Old Road Tavern. As usual, we'll have a selection of open spots from the south west comedy circuit to start the night off, followed by our headliner Ronnie Golden. Seating is limited with standing room at the back, all on a first come, first served basis.
