John has danced, sung, acted and been the short guy at the front for many productions and realized early he wasn't ever going to be a 'tall, dark and handsome' romantic lead so it's as well he enjoys cameos - and one out of three is still good - even if it does mean "throwing myself about like Norman Wisdom!"  “People compliment me by saying I'm like that 'short dancer-fella, Wayne Sleep', but as I haven’t heard him sing I wouldn’t know."

Experience:
As well as music halls, concerts with solos/duets/quartets, pas de deux and some choreography of my own, I have also written/appeared in sketches and added lyrics to traditional songs.  The acting has covered a wide range of moods and ages, and includes Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
TV work:
Extra 2004 Eastenders BBC
