About this product

Product Information

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please take your seats, put your hands together and prepare to take a mesmerizing trip. Boxing dogs, pre-PC comics, yodeling country singers, comedy monks, and exotic bird impressionists are just some of the artistes featured in this collection of classic light entertainment flyers from the 1970s and 1980s. From holiday camps to corporate function rooms, end-of-the-pier theaters to cruise ships and hotel lobbies, the esoteric and enchanting entertainers featured here delighted (and at times bemused) audiences up and down the country. But, for the lucky few, opportunity knocked, and they really did hit the Big Time!

    My mm and dad used to go to their local British Legion on a Saturday night when I was a little boy and they'd come home with the kinds of publicity fliers in Reach for the Big Time. I wish I'd kept them, but this book has collected them for me and their are examples which are hilarious. Things have certainly changed in the world of entertainment.
