Is @DavidBensonSays an incarnation of the late, great Kenneth Williams? Certainly, in our special 100th birthday episode, he brings Williams to life quite uncannily. David Benson's show is touring: @MylifewithKW. It's brilliant, go!

"He's going to have a big future long after we're gone. In a couple of generations, people will dig out Kenneth's work and say, Wow, what a performer he was! In 100 years’ time, they’ll be celebrating him"

It's the 100th birthday of Kenneth Williams, and so we have a Rosebud Sunday special for you - all about the great man.
It stars two other great men: @DavidBensonSays and @gylesb1, talking from their own perspectives about their experiences of Kenneth.
Rosebud. It's a cult!

🎭 REVIEW 🎭
To Hampstead Besties, and the Circle and Star Theatre, a comfortable fringe venue well suited to the latest incarnation of David Benson’s homage to Kenneth Williams.
"An engrossing but deeply sad portrayal of a great but flawed figure."
