Christine Coles

For the past ten years, Christine has certainly earned her reputation as one of the North's most popular, and loved comediennes.

From this, she learnt to handle any type of audience, always giving back more than she took. Nowadays, Christine is as at home working in the After Dinner environment as she is treading the boards of the clubs from the Midlands to the North East. Ladies evenings are a particular favourite, with her anti male humour appreciated by her many female fans. Christine still works regularly for Pontins during the summer, alongside the clubs and company functions.

Lee Roy James

If you could use the term "Serving your time" in show business, it would aptly apply to Lee Roy. He started at the age of 13, playing in a group in his native Ireland. At the age of' 20 he turned professional with, what was a phenomenon of the 60's &: 70's, The Irish show bands. After a few years the desire to be a solo performer dominated him so he came to Britain, and, within a short time was established as a singer of note. He was always in demand supporting many top names in the clubs. After a few summer seasons on mainland England Lee Roy went to the Isle of Man to do a summer season and ended up doing 9 continuous summer seasons. At his peak performing an amazing 27 shows a week. At this time his natural laid back humour began to evolve and he found he could easily make people laugh. On tour in Germany he took a "short cut" home, and found himself on the Costa Del Sol, in southern Spain, there he came into his own. Nightly he would go on stage, for over 2 hours he would have an audience in the palm of his hand with his stories, wit, & beautiful singing voice. People would come back to the Costa del Sol every year - just so Lee Roy could be part of their holiday. It was in Spain that someone thought up the slogan "The Natter & The Patter". Here is an act who is a total dedicated professional, an act who can be relied on. As Lee Roy himself admits, "the most important people are the audience, it's my job I try to please them and I give 100%". Lee Roy is such an easy going fellow a well known promoter was once heard to say "he is so laid back he should be propped up". It takes a lot of professionalism to be able to earn an accolade like that. Lee Roy James has also performed in the Channel Islands and in the United States, (Florida & Nashville), he was equally successful in making the people of America fall prey to his humour and that is not an easy thing to do.Lee Roy is now available for bookings world-wide as either an After Dinner Raconteur, as a stand-up Comedian, or in Cabaret where he can use his amazing vocal talents.
