The continuing interest in Kenneth Williams says something. It would
surely have surprised the man himself!

West End tribute to Williams
New comedy about Carry On star

A new tribute show to Kenneth Williams is to open in London's West End
next month.

Stop Messing About has been created by the same team that created the
previous nostalgia show Round The Horne… Revisited.

Writers Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke have again set the show as if
it was a recording for a BBC rado revue show, hosted by Williams with
Jules and Sandy collaborator Hugh Paddick, Carry On co-star Joan Sims
and announcer Douglas Smith.

Robin Sebastian, Nigel Harrison and Charles Armstrong reprise their
roles as Williams, Paddick and Smith from Round The Horne Revisited,
wile Emma Atkins – best known as Charity Dingle in Emmerdale – will play
Sims.

Between them, Mortimer and Cooke wrote such sitcoms as Man Abut The
House, George and Mildred and Robin’s Nest as well as writing for the
likes of Bernard Cribbins, Marty Feldman, Frankie Howerd, Bruce Forsyth,
Ronnie Barker and Tommy Cooper.

Stop Messing About opens at the Leicester Square Theatre on Wednesday
April 15 and runs until Sunday May 24.
