Henry Blofeld's long and chequered career began, so he is reliably informed, on 23rd September 1939. He was educated, to a point, at Eton for whom he played cricket for three years, from 1955 to 1957. He went straight on to King's College, Cambridge where they suffered him for two years before showing him the door in 1959. By this time he had acquired probably the worst cricket Blue as an opening batsman since the Crimean War although he managed to hit a first-class hundred against MCC at Lord's. 'Blowers' has made a name for himself in the theatre where he has for the last five years been doing a series of one-man shows around the country, called An Evening With Blowers. Anyone who has been to one of these shows will know just how funny he is... « back to list » « close panel » | | | | | book by phone | | stockport plaza | | we recommend | 0161 477 7779 | | |
