Its Ere... My Biography... I'll Tell Yer That!
A miner’s son to a major star, David Kear’s life has been nothing if not eventful.
As a musician, David was stabbed whilst on tour with his rock group, suffered a DIY nose job with his Bavarian oompah band and got crucified outside Woolworths in Leicester.
As the comedian, Charlie Chuck David played a private gig for Paul McCartney, performed to millions with Reeves & Mortimer and headed the bill on the biggest variety show in Canada.
I’ll Tell Yer That chronicles David’s incredible life, from bombed out post-war east Leeds to Stringfellow’s nightclub and the biggest theatres in the country with a lot of unlikely stuff in between.
The thing is, it’s all true…
I’ve met other people who have met and worked with Dave and the same phrase always comes up, ‘lovely man’. There’s a fierce intelligence behind the buffoonery, a life lived to the full without arrogance and without pretence. A contradiction and an enigma. An honourable man and a madman – Dominic Brunt, actor and film maker
Without doubt the best hair in comedy. A rare full blown authentic comedy legend – Rebecca Papworth, BBC Comedy Executive.
He deserves recognition for being an unusual talent at a time when things were getting a little dull – James Whale, Radio and TV presenter.
