About me
Experienced, versatile actor. Natural performance. picks up direction and script quickly. Used to working in studio and on location. focused professional.My carreer has covered a wide range of positions, both on and off stage. I have been fortunate enough to work as an actor in serious drama, comedic roles and pantomime on stage, in film and television. I have also worked as a
director & choreographer(1990-2013).
I appeared at The Royal Armouries in Leeds playing numerous characters from history, wearing 5 stone suits of armour and sword fighting, appearing many times on all the major TV channels and featuring on Video and DVD. I was also the Armouries resident presenter for all the horse shows and jousting tournaments, in house and on tour. Whilst at the Armouries I project managed, directed productions, and was also the resident puppet master. Between 2010 and 2012 I held the position of entertainments director for Warner Hotels.
I am a highly proficient puppeteer and puppet maker, and have had the pleasure of playing many of the characters in the famous 'Mr Spoon on Button Moon'.I am also a Punch & Judy Professor.

Additional information:
The dame is the wonderful Craig Cowdroy, who makes Widow Twankey into a dangerous creature, as lethal as Danny La Rue was in his heyday, thus upholding the ancient tradition of the true dame, something we see so little of these days. Dames should have a knife edge - here is a masterly performance reminding us of true panto anarchy.
(The Stage.27th Dec 2007.Richard Edmonds)
Stealing the show is the very experienced and totally brilliant Craig Cowdroy who makes a fine Dame and a top all-round entertainer. His selfless performance is outstanding and sets a standard to which the rest of the cast also rise.
(The Stage.17 December 2013 Bernard Bale)
