Roy Hudd and Christopher Green discover the perils of applause in a comic conversation at Wilton's Music Hall, where they tell the lost story of music hall idol Fred Barnes. Fred was a queer icon and music hall star 'in the Greek style', who topped the national circuit in 1911. At the height of his fame, he would be seen about town in his trademark white suit and hat, with a pet marmoset on his shoulder. But Fred's tragic family history, sudden success and enormous wealth were too hard to handle. His addictions and flamboyant offstage adventures proved his ruin, and after being branded 'a menace to His Majesty's fighting forces', Fred was banned from the stage by his employers. He sold his memoir 'How Success Ruined Me' to the papers, but was last seen in Southend pubs, singing any song for a drink - now with a chicken perched on his shoulder. Chris and Roy play out (and argue about, and rewrite) the vital moments from Fred's private and public life, while reflecting frankly on the perils of applause, addiction and identity in their own performing lives - with jokes, chat and songs. Roy Hudd, OBE, died in March 2020. Words and music by Christopher Green Christopher Green ..... himself Roy Hudd ..... himself Matthew Todd ..... himself with John Orchard on the piano Produced and directed by Jonquil Panting. This was originally aired on Radio 4.

Roy Hudd was a comedian, actor and music-hall veteran whose career spanned seven decades. He sadly passed away in March. Starting out as a redcoat at Butlins in the 1950s, Roy became one the UK's best-loved entertainers. His show The News Huddlines ran for 26 years on Radio 2. When Samira spoke to Roy in 2015, he was approaching his 80th birthday, and was about to play Dame for the first time in panto, in Dick Whittington at Wilton's Music Hall. He discussed a lifetime of entertaining audiences, his close relationship with Dennis Potter, who left Hudd a role in his will, and his grandmother, who raised him, and to whom he owed his passion for variety and music hall.

Join Jörg Meyer and his team for a very special evening at Wilton's Music Hall. London's oldest surviving music hall, Wilton's crammed 1500 people in to its auditorium to see classical overtures, dance, circus acts, opera, choral, and folk songs during its hey day in the 1850s and 1860s. Attached to the hall is the Mahogany Bar, a once grand old bar that was taken over for one night only by Henrick's gin to create Le Lion London.
