Clapperboard U.K. is delighted to host a special fundraising event with St Helens award-winning comic Johnny Vegas (born Michael Joseph Pennington) who’s varied career spans work as a comic, actor, writer and director, at the Epstein Theatre on Wednesday 6th November.

To celebrate the launch of his eye-popping frank memoirs Becoming Johnny Vegas, which Michael traces the birth of the alter-ego who made him a comedy star, culminating in his triumphant appearance at the 1997 Edinburgh festival, where he won the critics’ prize and was the first newcomer ever to be nominated for the Perrier Award.

From B.B.C. Dickens adaptations to Benidorm and Ideal to the P.G. Tips ads, Johnny Vegas has become one of Britain’s best-loved comic actors.
