Celebrity - After Dinner Speaker
As a celebrity Jim Bowen needs no introduction. His after dinner speeches are regarded by his peers as amongst the funniest on the circuit, where he highlights the frailties and shortcomings of show business and all its trappings, featuring particularly the 'Bullseye' era.
He is of course best known for his "Bullseye" TV game show, which for fifteen years was avidly watched by over twelve million viewers, attaining 'cult' status among University students. This has led to regular appearances at both the Oxford and Cambridge Unions. Instantly recognised throughout the UK, Jim is good value on the coroorate scene where his varied stage and screen experience is invaluable.
From 1999 to 2003 Jim worked for BBC Radio Lancashire, presenting and creating a hugely popular live morning magazine programme.
The recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in 'Bullseye' as it is shown four times daily on 'Challenge TV'. This has resulted in numerous guest appearances on all channels from BBC 2's "Weakest Link" which he appeared 3 times (twice a winner!) to 'Des & Mel', 'Richard & Judy' and the delightful morning show with Phil & Fern.
In summer of 2006 Jim performed at the Edinburgh Festival at 'Jongleurs' from August 8th to 28th.
It was a one hour long ramble featuring a little bit of 'stand-up' interspersed with riotous tales about his time in the business culminating in 'Bullseye' stories which beggar belief. A 'Question & Answer' segment closed the show.
He now takes this package around smaller theatres where he indulges his audience with two hours of banter and scandal of a highly amusing nature. A task he thoroughly enjoys.
