Don Maclean MBE is one of Britain’s leading TV, cabaret and stand up comedy performers and the perfect host or after dinner speaker.
Don Maclean MBE is one of Britain’s leading TV, Cabaret and Stand Up Comedy performers.
He first came to the public’s attention “back in the day” through his appearances on “Crackerjack” and “The Black & White Minstrel Show” which he hosted for three years on television and five years on stage.
He has also hosted a plethora of TV quizzes and game shows, including “Celebrity Squares” as well as a lengthy, successful and ongoing career as a radio presenter and broadcaster for BBC Radio 2.
He has appeared in six Royal Command Shows, the latest being a Royal Gala for the Princess Royal. His 30th Anniversary in Show Business was marked with the award of a coveted Silver Heart from the Variety Club of Great Britain, and in 1997 Birmingham University conferred upon him an Honorary Degree of Master of Arts.
In the 2001 Honours List he was made an MBE.
Don Maclean is an immensely talented performer with a charismatic and engaging personality. He is one of the few remaining comedians in the country that has a completely “clean” act. This of course sets Don apart from so many other performers and makes him ideal for any occasion.
He has a brilliantly funny act chock full of good clean gags, thoughts and observations, with not so much as a hint of a swear word in sight! Yes it can be done and it can still be funny, as this showbiz great proves each and every time he performs.
If you like your stand up comedy blue, then Don is NOT the man for you. However if you like your stand up comedy funny, look no further!
The entire team at First & Foremost Entertainment are proud and delighted to represent Don Maclean and cannot recommend his legendary stand up highly enough.
Option One:
Bespoke package for After Dinner Speaking or Comedy Hosting. Please enquire to discuss your specific details.
Option Two:
For 15 years Don presented Good Morning Sunday on BBC Radio2. His after-dinner entertainment based on those years in which he refers to some of the 1,200 people he interviewed, the three pilgrimages he led to the Holy Land, his refusal to subscribe to Political Correctness & the many problems that caused + his philosophy on the approach of old age is guaranteed to exercise even the most immovable chuckle muscles.
Option Three:
Having spent over 40 years on showbiz, appearing in many pantomimes, Summer Seasons as well as the London Palladium, he is perfectly capable of keeping an audience amused with a comedy routine which is particularly popular with adults who like their comedy clean.
Option Four:
A tribute to fathers in comedy & song during which Don relates his experience of having a father & of being a father. Don claims; “The type of father you yourself become depends entirely on the example of fatherhood given to you by your own dad” & he sets out to prove his theory. With songs by Harvey Andrews this is guaranteed to bring a smile to the lips & a tear to the eye of anyone who’s ever had a dad, been a dad or even been in the same house as a dad.
