Lance
Percival has
been a household
name since
the sixties,
and was one
of the team
on the legendary
BBC’s
satirical
'That was
the week that
was'. Since
then, in spite
of numerous
requests to
abandon the
whole thing,
he has appeared
constantly
in all forms
of the media.
Recent television
include the
BBC Series
Heroes of
Comedy, 'Comic
Relief',
'Countdown'
(YTV),
and the BBC2
Pro-Celebrity
Golf programme.
His 23 Film
credits include
Too Late The
Hero, Darling
Lili, and
several Carry
On spectaculars.
He is also
a regular
radio guest.
He won the
prestigious
Benedictine
UK After Dinner
Speaker of
the Year Award
because of
his ‘Polaroid
memory’
- He injects
names, job
titles, jargon
and opposition
into a speech,
learns the
lot and then
forgets everything
the next day
– hence
Polaroid!
His excellent
memory and
research into
names and
company jargon
have made
him incredibly
popular in
the corporate
market, with
recent clients
including
Volvo, Danish
Bacon, Interlink
and many more.
He has recently
expanded on
his talent
to include
specialised
scripting
of humour
for Executive
speeches or
conferences,
with clients
such as Kelloggs,
BP Amoco,
Harvey Nichols,
Vauxhall Motors
among hundreds
of other companies.
For television
he devised
and wrote
Whodunnit?
(ITV)
of which he
has written
105, also
for American
television.
He is the
author of
two humorous
books called
Well Versed
Dogs and Well
Versed Cats.
Based in
London, he
claims that
he has mastered
Frustration
(being a keen
golf hacker),
Despair (being
a lifelong
Chelsea supporter)
and Facing
the impossible
(he does the
Times Crossword
every day).
