The biggest name on the bill was David Cardy, who was on TV in 'Birds Of A Feather' at the time.
I took t'kids up to the bar afterwards for a cola to see the cast, who I knew would be lounging around there luvvily waiting for compliments.
Youngest spotted Cardy and decided to go and speak to him.
She walked over, waited respectfully until he'd finished speaking, and then said 'Excuse me Mr Cardy, I am sorry to interrupt you but I'd like to tell you how much I enjoyed the play tonight, and especially your performance as the Clown.'
He listened, smiled, and replied boomingly 'Oh, thank you SO much! How VERY kind! It's been our pleasure! And you can call me David!'
She swooned and reeled away grinning. What a lovely man.
Mr Cardy, you are a gentleman!
