Party Groovers
BOOKING COMICS, BEFORE THEY WERE FAMOUS ..
Note from Sarah Jackson:
"I can confirm that Michael McIntyre really is as genuinely nice as he seems on telly.
This was photo was taken before he was head-lining at London Clubs.
I booked him to 'support' head-line act:
Stephen K Tonkinson at this corporate evening ..
And yes, Michael brought the house down back then too ..~

OK, NOW THESE TWO ARE EXCITING. HANG AROUND AT THE BBC (NOT DOING TOO MUCH ...)
AND YOU GET TO MEET SOME GREAT PEOPLE. SARAH ONLY DID THE EMBARRASSING THING OF ASKING FOR A PHOTO WITH TWO HOLLYWOOD STARS.
Sarah: "I bumped into Tony Curtis in a corridor, just outside our recording studio.
The crew were rehearsing at the time and I asked for a photo. He immediately gave me the biggest hug and was cheeky and fun.
No airs or graces. Loved him."
Sarah: "I just ADORE Bette Midler, so no WAY could I walk past her and not say hello and ask for a pose."

Relaxing after a show, with a legend ...
Someone's got a shocking hair-do and make-up .. and it's not Sir Norman!
(Moral of this story: Forget your hair, but always take your own car.
Sarah's boss wanted to get home but Norman had invited everyone to dinner. Boss man said no.
BIG regret that to miss out on dinner and stories from this amazing actor!)
The hilarious Rik Mayall
We watched him in the wings (masterful at work on a backstage microphone)
Had the audience in palm of his hand before he even walked onto the stage
