Jonathan Linsley

Description

I have 44 years of experience as an actor, director, presenter and speaker. I do two one man shows, "From Holmfirth to Hollywood" which touches on the history of the film industry and how my career has followed that same path from appearing for 8 years in the Worlds longest running sitcom 'Last of the Summer Wine' to playing a Pirate in two Hollywood blockbuster movies 'Pirates of the Caribbean Dead man's chest' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean at world's end' A story of adventure excitement and full of humour. "Magical Thinking" which explains how superstitions in the Theatre are so common and ... why. Why do actors not say Macbeth? Why do we say "break a leg" ? Why is it unlucky to whistle on stage. An amusing and entertaining look into why we all have some superstitions that we follow in life and why? Each show can be 45 minutes to 60 minutes long and is self contained.
