The international award-winning Olé is a Latin music comedy explosion which will have the audience laughing tears of excitement and dancing wildly in the aisles.

“A real treat, funny, unpredictable and spectacular!” – DAILY TELEGRAPH

Paul Morocco and his “Amigos” are, without doubt, extremely skilled maniacs, their guitars full of fire, cheeks full of ping pong balls, and their musical souls full of songs. They entertain, amaze, and surprise with a truly mind-blowing fusion of rhythm, comedy, flamenco madness and fruit that is already a smash hit around the world.

“A thrilling show frequently reminiscent of watching some manic foreign film without subtitles” – EVENING STANDARD

Olé has all the exhilarating sounds from the rhythms of flamenco to salsa, swing, blues, jazz and pop.  Three Latin machos, full of fire, fight for their pride while playing, spinning and throwing their Spanish guitars, taking their audience on a formidable musical journey ending in a grande fiesta.

PAUL MOROCCO – The original creator is the mad Cassablancan himself.  Grew up in Virginia USA, his mother from Morocco, his father Cajun, from New Orleans.  He left his own country and travelled to Europe as a street performer, later performing on the cabaret circuit and then on to worldwide theatre.  An extraordinary performer, an accomplished musician and a truly flamboyant character.

GUILLERMO DE ENDAYA – Born in Bilbao, Spain, he started playing guitar when he was 14.  Later on he studied music at the Conservatiory in Leioa and then went on to lead several bands in Spain and Germany as a singer, guitarist and composer.

ANTONIO GOMEZ – Born in Cuba to the sounds of Salsa rhythms, he has been playing guitar and singing since a young boy.  He travelled Europe and studied Flamenco and other musical styles to compliment his own natural salsa rhythm.

Winner of America’s Got Talent – Paul Zerdin and his dysfunctional puppet family are back by popular demand. His brand-new tour, Paul Zerdin’s – Puppet Party, includes everyone’s favourites Sam, Albert and Baby, there’ll be his new bodyguard, an urban fox, some hilarious audience participation – and a talking ice cream! All using a mixture of master puppeteering, state of the art animatronic wizardry and a unique blend of edgy comedy.

It’s a quirk of British theatre that a man can get a standing ovation for spending the best part of 75 minutes on a stage talking to himself. It goes without saying that Paul’s skills are top notch – there’s not a hint of movement from his lips and he has a strong command of a range of different voices. But it’s his control of the puppets and sense of timing that brings his characters to life!

Zerdin wasn’t available for comment but his character Sam in his absence said: “It’s so exciting to be back on the road in the UK.  We’ve played Hollywood, New York, Vegas and now…Bedford! I just hope we can all get through the tour without a big bust up like last time!”

Paul made his TV debut in 1996 as the first outright winner of LWT’s The Big Big Talent Show, hosted by Jonathan Ross.  Since then he has appeared on countless TV shows including Comedy Central’s The World Stands Up, ITV1′s Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford, Tonight at The London Palladium, The Princes Trust Gala and has made three appearances at The Royal Variety Performance. His auditions for America’s Got Talent have racked up millions of views on YouTube and Paul is currently developing TV projects in both the UK and the US.

He took a Las Vegas residency at the legendary Planet Hollywood with his hit show Mouthing Off, and toured the UK with All Mouth in 2017. Paul is a regular feature at The London Palladium  annual pantomime

“Every now and then you stumble across a finished article, a show so polished it shines. Paul Zerdin: Sponge Fest is one of these shows. A ventriloquist at the top of his game, Zerdin is so sure of his skills and so in control of his material that he isn’t just performing – he’s showing off, clearly having as much of a laugh as his audience.”
- The Scotsman

He is a Gold Star member of the Inner Magic Circle and has just been voted the best ventriloquist in his family.

Quotes:

“Just to underline that the big names were not going to get it all their own way, the loudest applause went to Paul Zerdin who is reviving the unfashionable art of ventriloquism“- The Times

“If you think the words ‘brilliant’ and ‘ventriloquist’ have no place in the same sentence, go and see Paul Zerdin for some brutal re-education” – Evening Standard

“The best ventriloquist Britain has discovered for many years, who has mastered the knack of being acceptable to both comedy club and family audiences” – The Stage
