Eyes And Teeth Steve Hewlett

Keith Harris a national treasure with his little Green Duck Orville stole the hearts of millions in the 1980's throughout his television and pantomime career. Sell out Summer Seasons and Panto's saw Keith smash box office records and earn himself a brand new generation of fans after creating the 'Duck Off' show for UK Universities and nightclubs.
He was a master of entertaining and I am giving back by paying tribute as he gave me so much including his time.

Enjoy clips, interviews and tribute messages from many on Eyes and Teeth - Keith Harris.

Keith Harris was one of the most successful ventriloquists in Great Britain's show business history.
With record sold out summer seasons at Blackpool's Grand Theatre and pantomimes Keith's Saturday Night TV Show was watched by millions of families in the 1980's and after Orville's Song written by Bobby Crush was released in 1982 it shot Orville into many hearts of children and adults selling a whopping 400.000 copies.

Keith worked through the declining decade of variety into the 1990's and then re invented himself for a new audience in Universities and Top Holiday centres across the UK.  With his new adult show 'Duck Off' Keith enjoyed booking through popular demand and even worked top tv shows starring alongside Harry Hill, Little Britain's Matt & David, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Peter Kay and Ricky Gervais.

I also talk about my connection with Keith and our time meeting and working together on my first nationwide TV show in 1993.

He was a legend until the end, but the end came way too soon.

Let's celebrate The Life & Career of Keith Harris - Ventriloquist.

Dave Evans was a World Class Entertainer. Truly gifted in music, comedy and impressions which wowed the Cabaret Clubs across the UK and Australia. He astounded audiences for thirty years at sea and impressed us on television when variety was at its height. On this Tribute Season, I talk with friends and colleagues of those no longer with us and I have chosen five of the greatest I worked with to end Eyes & Teeth on.
Today you can enjoy clips of Dave Evans he sent me over the years and sadly as they were on CD they have started to fade and the quality isn't what I'd hoped it to be but you will enjoy his jokes and voices and vocals along the way.
Today's Special Guests are Roy Yates, Al Brown, Paul Shepherd, Jack Sharpe, Debbie Lee James, Johnny Mans, Joe Pasquale and Lee Carroll. 

The Specials are slightly longer on these tributes so brace yourself for 2 hours of anecdotes, interviews, live sets and vocals from one of the greatest entertainers the UK have ever seen. Dave Evans

Welcome to the last Episode of Eyes & Teeth Theo Worlds Greatest variety Show Season 15.
When I think about the Variety in the World and hosting a show that is based around variety there is one family that comes to mind and that is a family who have lived and breathed Variety for over 60 years. Think of the most successful and famous show business family in the world and you will instantly think of the Osmonds.
In 2016 my career I felt was made by one phonecall during a shopping trip in Eastbourne with my wife Nina I answered the phone to Tony Denton a Tour Promotor who wanted to ask if I would join The Osmonds on Tour this coming Xmas 2016.
Not only that but Jimmy Osmond wanted to talk to me later this day about joining him and his brothers in Branson Missouri for a stint at the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre.
I couldn’t be more happy to accept the job. That Christmas was an incredible experience working not only in America, but with The Osmonds and a full incredible cast of talented people and I got to enjoy crazy golf every other day.
Christmas Parties, thanksgiving get togethers and road trips as well as visiting all the other Christmas shows on the strip in Branson just added to the memories of my time with these amazing people
In recent years Jay Osmond alongside a talented group of people including Jay’s wife Karen have written and produced an incredible Musical dedicated to the Osmonds and their fans. Today we talk about the musical and its inspirations, its stars, its success and its future
I could not end Eyes & Teeth without closing in style and today I welcome to EYES AND TEETH the worlds greatest variety show, the worlds greatest variety family the osmonds when I talk to Jay Osmond.
