Kevin Connelly - In the Beginning

Born in Middlesbrough, Kevin Connelly found fame while still at school, mimicking his fellow students and, of course, his teachers.  As his ‘turns’ became more popular, he gained confidence and included a few leading personalities into his repertoire.  While working as restaurant manager in his brother-in-law’s hotel near Thirsk, he would entertain his customers at the end of the evening to a small cameo piece, quite unrehearsed, but which certainly delighted the clientele.  It was through this venue that someone asked him to speak at the Yorkshire CCC dinner.  Engagements rolled in from there and eventually he decided to give up his position in restaurant management to become a professional impressionist.
