For many years
Sir Norman toured the country, entertaining
literally millions and
 millions
of fans, all of whom gave him a standing ovation
wherever and whenever he appeared. With his trusty
sidekick and straight-man Tony Fayne, Sir Norman was
unique in his abilty to portray his comedy to all
age groups...be it toddlers, teenagers, families or
grandparents. Everyone loved his comical antics,
everyone admired his outstanding talent, and his
fellow cast members, supporting artistes and
musicians alike... simply adored working with him.
The entourage travelled around the UK in a forty
seater luxury coach...driven by 'George'...and in
every town and city Sir Norman would make them stop
every so often...just to look at car showrooms, or
country cottages down back lanes. His fellow
thespians were often in hysterics at his antics, but
you can't help loving the little man....and this is
why he always got his way. How could anyone turn him
down? He's like one of the family.
His performances were always successful, theatre
managers couldn't wait to book him back and after
each theatre show he would spend at least two hours,
signing autographs at the stage door for his trusted
loyal fans. There are some entertainers who can't
wait to 'rush off home' after the show, but not our
Norman. As he would say, "They made me what I am
today......I'm a lucky little devil."
Norman would also like to thank some of the artistes
and musicians who have
worked with him over the years. He can't remember
everyone's name.....but here's a list of some of
them (in no particular order) who have had the
privilege of working on tour with this comedy
genius.
Carol Lee Scott, Terry White, Hope & Keen, Terry
Seabrooke, The Simmons Brothers, Jess Conrad, Gary
Branch, Freddie Bence, Squire Ronnie Hayward, Daniel
Dean, Glenn M.Ford, Leah Bell, Julia Burnett, The
Bossi Twins, John Ditchfield, Frannie Haywood, Steve
Barclay, Tony Fayne, Harry Bence, Ken Wood, Donna
Mayers, Ken Joy, Nikita Scott, Bernard Bale, Ron
Sheppard, Lol Williams, Bert Weedon, Lizzie Wiggins .....and many,
many others, all of whom relish the fact they have
got to know....and work with.... the UK's funniest
living legend. There's only one....Sir Norman
Wisdom!
Below are some of the tour posters, leaflets,
brochures and pictures, all of which made for one of
