Master ventriloquist Steve Hewlett will be talking about his career and performing a one -off show. 

It is part of a series of nationwide interviews organised by East Cowes man Josh Barry, who kicked off the tour at the Museum of Comedy with comedic legend Arthur Smith.

Josh, who lives with a severe form of cerebral palsy, is assisted in the show by comedian Phil Reid, who will be on stage asking the questions and encouraging the audience to get involved with their own questions.

John Hannam, who recently passed away, as previously reported, was due to be Master of Ceremonies at the event.

34-year-old Josh says he was inspired by Isle of Wight Radio legend John Hannam:

'John was a leading light in the entertainment industry for his interviews, charming his interviewees with his own style of questioning. I spent a great deal of time with John and learned much from him - we shared our passion for the industry and our fascination with some of the greats from years gone by.'

'My podcast Beyond The Title is very much modelled on John's own format of John Hannam Meets and it is a real shame that he is no longer here to watch as I continue my own journey in the world we both love.'

'This series of shows will show a side to some of the incredible acts that the UK has produced and offer a unique insight into what makes them such incredible talents.'
