Brian Blessed will be hosting an intimate black-tie event at The Bowdon Rooms later this year.
The larger than life actor, writer and presenter is known best for his hearty, king-sized portrayals on film and television.
A giant of a man accompanied by an eloquent wit and operatic voice, he is also an avid explorer and climber, and ‘An Evening with Brian Blessed’ will combine anecdotes from his illustrious acting career with tales of his adventuring.
And, with his career spanning more than fifty years, there will be no shortage of material.
On screen, he has appeared in everything from Doctor Who to Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespeare films. On stage, his credits range from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
His trademark booming voice has also featured on everything from Peppa Pig character Grampy Rabbit to a voice download on TomTom’s sat nav system – he’s quite literally done everything.
Blessed is also an avid climber and, throughout the evening, will also be talking about his Everest climb without oxygen; his expedition to the jungles of Venezuela during which he survived a plane crash; his trek to the North Pole and his many hours of space training in Russia.
The evening will include a 3-course dinner, live entertainment, a memorabilia auction and a chance to ask your own questions in an audience Q & A.
