Danny Baker: Cradle to the Stage
Newcastle Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Friday 21st April 2017
Broadcasting legend Danny
Baker is currently on tour for the first time ever in his illustrious and
varied career with his show Cradle to the
Stage, and we are thrilled to announce that he will now visit Tyne Theatre
& Opera House on Friday 21st
April.
Danny Baker is a broadcaster and writer who has worked throughout print, television and radio for over 30 years. His recent bestselling autobiographies were adapted into the hit BBC series Cradle to Grave and he is currently working on the third instalment. He can be heard Saturday mornings with his multi award winning BBC Radio 5 Live show which includes his usual mixture of music, sport, guests and, of course, Danny’s signature encyclopaedic wit.

No two nights of this
extravaganza will be the same. This is less of a boast than admission that a) I
am hopeless at learning scripts and b) I still have no idea what I am going to
include. Perhaps you can help? If you’ve
read my books, watched the series based on them or, indeed, ever caught
anything I have presented on television/radio then maybe you might contribute
to the feast of reason and flow of the soul that I guarantee these evenings
will contain. Questions like, “Did your friend really eat saveloys from a pith
helmet” or “What was meeting John Lennon/Michael Jackson/David Bowie/Kenneth
Williams like?” or, I suspect, most popular of all “How comes you’ve made so
many rotten TV programs, Dan?”
“I will of course arrive
in front of you going off like a Cacophonous Catherine Wheel of Chat, armed
with hundreds of tall tales to tell many complete with proof from my family
picture album to stop you thinking I am simply raving. I’ve been at this
showman racket a full 40 years now my friends – there is truly much to discuss
and plenty to be held to account for.
A night at the theatre
can either be deep dish or high kicking. What I promise to haul before you is
very much in the latter category. Content wise I will make Springsteen and Dodd
look like short changing slackers. I can’t wait. This is the sort of radio I’ve
always wanted to do, ie, radio without radio. Just me and you.
In fact, if you don’t
show up I’m going to do it in your local theatre anyway. So you may as well
come. Why should the ushers have all the fun?
So, in short, roll up, pile in and hang onto your hats. I am back where
I belong. On the stage! Shove over Tommy Steele – there’s a new sheriff in
town! See you there.”
Theatre Director Joanne Johnson says: “We can’t wait to welcome legendary broadcaster Danny Baker to our stage for the first time: Danny has lived a fascinating life and I’m sure he will have our audience riveted. With 2017 being our 150th Anniversary year, it’s fantastic that we can present such exciting events in what will no doubt be a year to remember.”
