NEVILLE KING

As a ventriloquist, Neville is a master of his art, and as a dummy "old boy" epitomizes the mischievious twinkle eyed pensioner whom we all love, or have loved at some time in our lives.

Turning professional in 1963, his first summer season was on the Isle of Man followed by seasons in Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bridlington, Scarborough, Torquay, Eastbourne, and Paignton.

In 1964 Neville joined the worlds longest running Musical, "The Black & White Minstrel Show", with whom he remained for 11 years, 3 of which were at the Victoria Palace, London. He also did a season in Malta and a very long, record breaking, tour of Australia whilst with the Show.

In 1965 he was chosen to appear before Her Majesty the Queen & the Duke of Edinburgh in the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium. In 1967 he again appeared at the Palladium, this time in front of Princess Margaret at a Royal Gala.

Neville has entertained the troops for Combined Services Entertainments in Ireland, South America, Cyprus, Germany, Salalah and Masirah. He has also entertained UN troops in Holland & Belgium. He has done 5 World Tours, including a tour of Canada, with the London Palladium Show. He has also worked in Salisbury, Johannesburg, Tangier, Malta, Tasmania and more recently at the famed "Sporting Club" in Monte Carlo.

Quotes:

The Daily Express "Neville King is several floors removed from the traditional 'bottle of beer' vent., the audience is too busy laughing to watch his mouth moving"

Daily Mirror "Its not often a ventriloquist steals the show but Neville King did it last night, it looked as if his drunken dummy was controlling him. Hilarious and brilliant."
