An Evening with Blowers

Whenever Blowers is at the microphone, laughter is never far away. He has an irreverent approach to life, he often gets his knickers in a twist and everything he says, in the commentary box or on the stage, is often tinged with more than a humorous touch of wickedness. Of course hysterically funny stories will be the staple diet. His new show combines all these attributes as he pokes fun at every aspect of his life, mocks pomposity and pretentiousness and there is no one he laughs more at than himself. He spends a good deal of the time with egg all over his face.
