Lily Savage Shop lifter turned West End thespian, Lily is the Birkenhead slapper made good. Lily's acerbic wit has made her a superstar of stage and screen with sell-out tours, the award nominated TV show, An Audience With Lily Savage, her own series, the game show Blankety Blank and starring roles in the musicals Prisoner Cell Block H and Annie. Lily is by far the Queen of British comedy.
At one time was Bob's fiancée but the engagement was broken off when the ring turned Lily's finger green. Remaining friends, Bob has appeared on Lily's TV series and on tour where they have 'skated' to Bolero as Torvill & Dean and duetted on classics such as Somethin' Stupid and You Don't Bring Me Flowers. A partnership made in heaven.

Paul O'Grady Manager to Lily Savage but strangely never seen together although often accompanied by Lily's canine companion, Buster. Appeared in the film In The Name Of The Father and his first travelogue, Paul O'Grady's Orient, achieved great success when shown on ITV in 2000.

Comedy Legends
Paul O'Grady 'Lily Savage'	Justin Bond 'Kiki'	Mark Trevorrow 'Bob Downe'	Julian Clary 'The Lovely Julian'

	Julian Clary Renowned for, amongst other things, outrageous lycra and rubber costumes and even more outrageous TV game shows like Sticky Moments and Prickly Heat. Often shared the stage with Fanny the Wonderdog. R.I.P. Perhaps Julian's current dog, Valerie, will also become a star in due course.
Only the lovely Julian, with his angelic features and camp charm, could get away with belittling his punters on stage. Rifling through their coats and handbags and remarking on their cheap clothing he still gets the laughs from those unfortunate enough to be chosen. Julian's costumes are now more haute couture but the comedy is as brilliant and unique as ever. 'Sang' with Bob on Je T'aime on Bob's Greatest Hits album.

Pastel Vespa Brazilian singer and possible heir to the Milano Vespa fortune. Her EP CD Several Shades Of Pastel featured Tub Thumping and Boys Are Back In Town sung in her own inimitable way. Has an uncanny resemblance, fashion-wise, to Bob whom she met while they were both working on cruise ships in the South Pacific, Bob on the Fairstar and Pastel on the Olivioflora. Guested with Bob on both his Jazzy! and Million Sellers tours wowing the audiences with her amazing sultry voice and visually stunning outfits.

Dusky Vespa Pastel's Polish cousin, to whom she bears a remarkable physical resemblance. She would stop at nothing to get her hands on the family fortune, even if it means tricking Bob into marriage.

Mel Giedrøyc & Sue Perkins Hosts of the cookery/chat TV shows Light Lunch and Late Lunch which rapidly drew a cult following. The pair's obvious friendship and resulting comedic timing have made this double act a delight to watch. Provided backing vocals for Bob on Fever during his first guest appearance on their show and also during Jazzy! at the Edinburgh Festival in 1997. On Light Lunch Bob slaved over the microwave 'cooking' popcorn and Risotto Saint Michele (Marks & Spencer to you & me).

Cliff Richard Top recording artist who has spent more weeks in the UK charts than any other artist. Hit singles span 5 decades and include Living Doll, Summer Holiday, Devil Woman, We Don't Talk Anymore and The Millennium Prayer. Received a knighthood for services to charity in 1995.

She played the role of Sandy in the blockbuster movie Grease and later starred in Xanadu, the title track of which Bob does a memorable cover version. During the eighties, Olivia took on a raunchier look and sound, most notable in her US No. 1 single Physical. Showbiz took a back seat with the birth of her daughter Chloe and later due to breast cancer. Has campaigned tirelessly for environmental issues and is a strong supporter of CHEC. Thankfully, Livvy is now fully fit and is back touring and acting. Bob and Olivia appeared on the same Royal Variety Performance in 1995.
