What inspired you to create this show? Why this story?
This is a political satire poking fun at the entirety of the British Establishment.
Who better to be the mouthpiece for that than someone who has been spat out from its core, Prince Andrew.
You describe the piece as a pacey parody what do audiences have to look forward to?
Yes it’s pacey, funny and rude and makes some valid points about how we are mesmerised into believing in the legitimacy of people who have influence over us.
Have there been any obstacles in the creation of No Sweat?
It’s been a pretty smooth ride. As it’s a one man show it’s relatively easy to stage. Affordable rehearsal space has been difficult to find.
Who are the collaborators on this production?
Melanie Percy has done a great job with the lighting. I collaborated with my daughter Oriel with the design and props, and Jasper who plays the mouthy Prince has done a great job in bringing a world class idiot to life.
Who should see this show and why?
Anyone who has the smallest shred of respect for the Monarchy. You know who you are! Anyone with and MBE or OBE might want to keep that quiet.

What have been the highlights of the process for No Sweat?
Watching the character come to life and seeing how the comedy comes off the
page.
What do you think the future of British fringe theatre looks like and how does your company (or the show) fit into it?
It looks very vibrant to me, although quite London-centric. I feel that audiences
outside London have different tastes, so more challenging shows might struggle. I’m not sure if places like Tunbridge Wells are ready for a show like NO SWEAT.
What's next?
I’d like to see it go on, and perform to as large an audience as possible. And then… the sequel. A Royal Variety Show, with the royals doing the variety acts.
Ventriloquists Meghan and Harry (Harry as the puppet). William and Kate as the troublesome pantomime horse. Charles and Camilla knife throwing act, Camilla on a spinning target.
