Evening with Blowers
HENRY Blofield, one of Britain’s most celebrated cricket commentators will take to the stage at the Queen’s Theatre, Barnstaple with his one-man show on Friday, May 9.
The doyen of BBC Radio’s Test Match Special, Henry is one of the great characters of the beautiful game of cricket.
Blowers, as he is affectionately known, is as renowned for his catchphrase – “my dear old thing”; for his musings on pigeons, double-decker buses, planes, tea ladies, and of course, cakes, as he is for his much-loved commentating prowess.
He remains one of the most respected and knowledgeable commentators in the sport – and one of the most charming.
Hilarious tales abound in this often side-splitting and highly entertaining stage show, all told with Henry’s well-known self-deprecatory humour. He is, quite simply, a marvellous raconteur as his many fans and listeners to BBC radio will testify.
