After Dinner Speakers: Kit & The Widow, Jamie Theakston, Ros Gardner

Kit and The Widow met at the Cambridge University Footlights and immediately went their separate ways. Kit made documentaries for the BBC whilst The Widow worked as a silver service waiter at Claridges until they reconvened at the Comedy Store during the dark days of the Falklands crisis. Ten years later they were playing the Royal Lyceum Theatre as part of the official Edinburgh Festival. They were the first cabaret artists since Dietrich to do so. In a long and distinguished career, they have appeared in the many top venues including the Esteponia in St Moritz; Southwark Cathedral; The Royal College of Music and the Barbican. Notable performances by this unique duet include Bizarre at the Windmill Theatre; Figgy Pudding at the Lyric and Salad Days at the Vaudeville Theatre. A wonderful blend of musical talent and wit.
