CLINTON BAPTISTE-Roller Ghoster! Babbacombe Theatre, Torquay
Saturday 22nd February 7.30pm
BRITAIN’S MOST CELEBRATED CLAIRVOYANT MEDIUM PSYCHIC MAKES STUNNING PREDICTIONS FOR THE UK AS NATIONAL TOUR IS EXTENDED
Who would have foreseen it? Britain’s most celebrated clairvoyant medium psychic from Peter Kay’s ‘Phoenix Nights, CLINTON BAPTISTE has extended his 2024 national tour of his hit show ROLLER GHOSTER into 2025, following sold out dates up and down the land and you can join him for one night only, at the Babbacombe Theatre, Torquay on Saturday 22nd February at 7.30pm.
As well as venturing into the audience to offer his unique spirit readings, Clinton comes armed with more tales from his extraordinary childhood; exposing himself in ways you could never imagine -the family that shaped him, the narrow minded who doubted him and the lovers that left him. He regales us with stories of his recent work on a cruise ship, his spirit readings round the UK and not to mention the day-to-day life with his Greenlandic spirit guide, Taruak.
Brace yourselves – Clinton will prove his mystical ability once and for all. This time, he guarantees you WILL believe! *
*No actual money back if you don’t. It’s not really a legal ‘guarantee’ as such. Look, it’s just an expression, okay?
Laugh, gasp, scream your head off…but whatever you do … strap in and hold tight as Clinton takes you on a rip-roaring ride through the twists and turns of his heady life.
The premier hands- on clairvoyant, medium and a psychic, Clinton is renowned as Britain’s foremost ‘can-do’ guru. The self-styled ‘Can-guru’* not kangaroo.
“From the moment Lowe dances onto the stage the audience absolutely loves his show.” BRUCE DESSAU
“unashamedly crowdpleasing” BEYOND THE JOKE
“old-fashioned comedy at its best.” BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
Clinton Baptiste is the creation of comedy actor Alex Lowe. Originally conceived for Peter Kay’s smash hit Channel 4 sitcom Phoenix Nights back in 2001 some twenty-one years after the show first aired, Clinton continues to conjure up his extraordinary powers for a new generation.
Lowe is also well known for playing ‘Barry from Watford’, his wondrous 82-year-old creation from Radio 2’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon and Noel Edmonds’ Channel 4 quiz Cheap Cheap Cheap. Amongst his various acting roles, he has several credits with Kenneth Branagh – whom he met as a child actor of 14 years of age whilst in the West End play Another Country. Later he joined Branagh’s Renaissance Theatre Company, touring with Richard Briers. He also appeared in Branagh’s film’s Peter’s Friends and Much Ado About Nothing Alex played the role of Simon Marriel in the 1995 feature film Haunted, alongside Anthony Andrews, John Gielgud and Kate Beckinsale. He was part of the BBC Radio Drama Company for a year and has appeared in scores of radio plays ever since. Currently, he plays Brian in the BBC Radio comedy Clare in The Community.
Lowe revived Clinton Baptiste for an appearance in Peter Kay’s Britain’s Got the Pop Factor and, in 2015, for Manchester Arena’s Phoenix Nights Live, which raised £6 million for Comic Relief. Prior to two acclaimed tours as Clinton, he was gigging as the character on the London circuit and performing as Barry with his double act partner Angelos Epithemiou (BBC1’s Shooting Stars). His work with Angelos was recently nominated for Best Comedy at the British Podcast Awards. Clinton Baptiste’s Paranormal Podcast also continues to sit high in the podcast charts. Recent TV appearances include Brassic and In the Long Run both for Sky One, Don’t Tell the Driver for BBC2 and for film, The Devil Outside. As a writer, Alex has written for Alistair McGowan, Ronni Ancona, Paul O’Grady, Iain Lee and Lewis Macleod. In 2016 he wrote the Radio 4 comedy series Barry’s Lunch Club featuring his creation, Barry.
