Christopher Biggins There is nothing like a Dame.
Some people need no introduction. We are thrilled to have ‘Biggins’ join us in a unique event in which we will explore his life through the selection of favourite books. Six titles that have influenced his approach to a life which has been extraordinary. One of show-businesses most adored figures, we will take him through his early childhood in Oldham, iconic shows such as Porridge, Poldark, Renta Ghost, and I Claudius, to his winning I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Christopher is also one of pantomime’s most famous Dames and was in the original version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, both on stage and in the film.
Christopher will be signing copies of his autobiography ‘Biggins: My Story’ after the event and you can e-mail him questions in advance to [email protected]
