And no one can blame the comedian for making the most of coming from a country with –allegedly – no sense of humour. And as he freely admits, he ‘German’s it up’ […]
After a long day at work the thought of relaxing to enjoy the ballet at The Place, Oakengates Theatre, in Telford, was a comforting one.
