Ollie Spencer
Ollie has built a solid reputation as a reliable funny man who always gives 100%. His off-stage manner and demeanor makes him great company in a social situation. His television credits include 7 consecutive appearances on Granada TV’s original “The Comedians”, Scottish TV’s “Patter Merchants” and South West TV’s “15/40 Show” with Nick Owen; Ollie was asked back 3 times – something of a record! In his rock ‘n’ roll days Ollie was the drummer with cult band The Idle Race that also featured Jeff Lynne of ELO fame. At this time Ollie was known as Roger Spencer and Ollie was a nickname that has stayed with him. He has remained firm friends with Jeff Lynne. In his career Ollie has done so many varied things including Rock ‘n’ Roll bands working with many major bands i.e. The Beatles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Moody Blues and of course ELO (which in the early days also featured Roy Wood) etc. In 1980 Ollie left the music scene and his solo career took him into television working as a “warm-up man” on many popular shows. Ollie is a regular performer on the after dinner circuit with his easy delivery of both observational and topical comedy material. He is also an accomplished host /compere for sporting dinners and charity dinners. Ollie is a great asset to any occasion and looks forward to helping to make your function a memorable one. |
