Gordon Prentice

Gordon was a wonderful comedy performer who excelled in the Old Time Music Halls that, for 15 years, were an institution at the Garrick. He took part in almost all of them annually from the early 1970s, until the last one in 1990, and is pictured here as a Pearly King in 1978.

He also appeared in several pantomimes such as Dick Whittington, Aladdin, and as an Ugly Sister in Cinderella.

His first performances on the Garrick stage were  in serious dramas such as Luther in 1972 and Macbeth in 1973, but it wasn't long before he was cast in comedy roles such as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, There Goes the Bride', and See How They Run.

Gordon also took part in most social events and cabarets in the bar, and worked in the Front of House team.
