27/01/2012 - SHOWBIZWORKS PRODUCE COMEDY CARPET LIVE WEEKEND - Showbizworks appointed to create and produce weekend of comedy for Blackpool with headliners Barry and Stuart from The Magician's


You'd be a fool to miss out on the laughs taking place in Blackpool this April as Marketing Blackpool has announced the launch of Comedy Carpet Live, a festival of shows created and produced by Showbizworks taking place over April Fool's weekend, 31st March and 1st April 2012. It is set to become an annual celebration the week before Easter, and is inspired by Blackpool's latest piece of public artwork, The Comedy Carpet on the Tower Festival Headland.

Natalie Wyatt, Managing Director of Marketing Blackpool said: "This event complements the success of the Comedy Carpet on the Tower Festival Headland and has been planned to help to kick start the season by bringing in visitors early for Easter. We intend to make this an annual event as Blackpool is steeped in comedy heritage making the town perfect for supporting new and established talent."

The live shows kick off on Saturday evening at 9.30pm, with the Merrie England Bar on North Pier hosting an adult comedy show starring Manchester based group Slaughterhouse Live. They already have a cult following on the comedy circuit and have had their own show on Granada, but incredibly, this will be their debut performance in Blackpool. Following sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, a critic from The List said: "This five-strong comedy cabaret pulsates with enough anarchic energy to power a small European principality."

On Sunday afternoon at North Pier Theatre, Comedy 4 Kids will provide something for children and families with an hour long show featuring CBBC and Royal Variety Show stars Big Howard and Little Howard; Show Me The Funny finalist Stuart Goldsmith; and Comedy 4 Kids star Tiernan Douieb, the latter of whom hopes to go on Dragon's Den to present his idea of putting zips on pitta breads!

The weekend culminates with the Comedy Carpet Live Gala Show at The Grand Theatre starring comedy illusionists Barry and Stuart from BBC television's prime time show The Magicians. Also on the bill will be musical comedy double act Frisky and Mannish (as heard on BBC Radio 1 and stars of their own sell out London Hammersmith Apollo and Edinburgh shows); ‘children's entertainer' Jeremy Lion (alter ego of Justin Edwards from Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week); comedy legend Bernie Clifton, who is featured on the promenade's Comedy Carpet; and Chris Ramsay, soon to be seen in his own BBC series, complete the line up. Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be Jason Cook who has appeared on various TV comedy shows including Russell Howard's Good News.

Martin explained: "We wanted to create an event that could grow and evolve into something that would eventually drive significant business into the town by extending the start of the traditional season. Marketing Blackpool share that vision and Comedy Carpet Live will help to raise the profile of the new regenerated Blackpool and position the town as a platform for more contemporary artistes. We have tried to reflect this in the line-up of artistes with a nod to comedy legends. Many of the performers have not been seen in the town before and we are keen to break new ground with this event each year by placing Blackpool firmly back on the map for attracting the best comedy talent."

Tickets for the shows are available from 10am on Monday 30 January. For further information, or to book tickets, please click Visit Blackpoolor call 01253 478222

25/11/2009 - SHOWBIZWORKS MANAGEMENT FOR FLAWLESS - Flawless Appoint Showbizworks.com to Join Their Management Team


Amelia Benoit, executive manager for world dance champions Flawless, has appointed Showbizworks.com to join her management team.

With offers pouring in for TV appearances, corporate work, sponsorship offers and media interviews, Amelia spent months in meetings with potential management companies and agents looking for a team that had similar ambitions for the ten strong dance group.

"Showbizworks.com is a great addition to our management team," explained Amelia. She added: "They have a strong understanding of the world of dance together with practical experience of working with dancers, choreographers and producing dance based shows. Their ideas for Flawless and their future were synonymous with our own and this coupled with their expertise in the corporate world and a separate PR division made them the ideal choice."

The team at Showbizworks.com are managing all enquiries and exploring new opportunities for Flawless including guest appearances on international concert tours with named artistes, sponsorship deals, TV appearances and branded merchandise.

Following their appearance in the final of Britain's Got Talent, the group attracted huge media attention. Simon Cowell described Flawless as "One of the best things I have ever seen in my life ……not just the best dance group I have ever seen, it's one of the greatest acts I have ever seen …..".

Flawless were crowned ‘World Dance Champions' beating over 50 nations from around the world in Bremen, Germany. Not only did they win first place, they were also the first and only group ever to get full marks from all the world judges in street dance history! The group is led by one of the most aspiring, young, creative choreographers in the UK, Marlon "Swoosh" Wallen. His professional experience and dynamic and innovative choreography has made street dance more appealing to the mass audience. Marlon's work has been recognised with numerous awards for Flawless, including Best Street Dance Group and Best Choreographed Group. Flawless work tirelessly to educate people through dance and they host workshops all over the world.

Flawless have appeared on this year's Mobo's with Chipmunk and they have just completed filming for a major new feature film called Streetdance in which they take the starring role. It is due for release in May 2010 and it is the first movie in Europe to be shot in 3D.

Martin Blore director of Showbizworks.com said: "We are very proud to be working with such amazing talent whose professional approach shines through in their performances. Clients always tell us that Flawless are a joy to work with and the interest in them is phenomenal because they are cutting edge, and they create trends for others to follow particularly for fashion houses as guys aspire to be like them!"

18/11/2009 - SHOWBIZWORKS PAYS TRIBUTE TO LEGEND OF DANCE - Tap dance legend Jimmy Clark passes away


Showbizworks would like to pay tribute to legendary tap dancer Jimmy Clark, who has passed away last weekend. One half of the legendary Clark Brothers, Jimmy along with his brother Steve, who was at his bedside, are probably the last of an entertainment era that included Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Junior Dean Martin and many more. The Clark brothers have been in show business for over seventy years. Born and brought up during the depression in the southern states of America, they first went on the road when they were four years old.
As dancers they witnessed the birth of Las Vegas, played the Cotton Club in Harlem and went to Havana before Castro came down from the hills. They were friends with Josephine Baker, Sugar Ray Robinson and Frank Sinatra. They shared bills with Gypsy Rose Lee, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and virtually every star in between. Sammy Davis Junior was their cousin and they taught the British pop groups of the Swinging Sixties how to dance.
Steve Clark chronicled their experiences in a book called Living Legends. In it he gives an unrivalled insight into what it was like to be born into a time when boxing, singing or dancing were the only legitimate ways in which a black boy could hope to escape poverty. He paints a vivid picture of the days when the American theatres and clubs were run exclusively by gangsters and when segregation was still commonplace. The entertainment industry back then was very different, when a handshake took the place of a contract and sadly if you were black and top of the bill, you still had to arrive via the back door of the Las Vegas venue. To see them in action click The Clark Brothers

As someone who has been inspired and encouraged in the early days of my career by the Clark Brothers I would like to offer my personal condolences to Steve and to thank him for his support and generosity with his time. I feel honoured to have known Jimmy and am sure that he is tap dancing in heaven......
Marina Blore, Director Showbizworks.com
