Well The first time I left home in 2000 was to go to Butlins, but I went to Bognor Regis this time. I applied because I wanted to be a Redcoat, but at that time I really didn’t have much to offer. So they gave me a job in Guest Services being shouted at, sworn at and called all names under the sun.But then after a few more years of growing in confidence and ability, I tried again. I wasn’t my choice I must add, one of my friends told me she wanted to audition. I thought ‘oh why not that will be a bit of fun’. I sent in my application, I got an audition and she didn’t. And to my complete amazement I became a Redcoat for the year 2003. |

age of 21 isn’t exactly the best thing in the world. But who cares I’m being paid to entertain, yeah not much but I’m getting paid for it.I am a bit of a mad man at times. I like to laugh and joke around, I like to talk to people and have a good time. What job is better suited to me than Being Redcoat. Our job description says you can do anything as long as you do not harm or offend. You would think that that means you can’t be told off but you would be wrong. You still have to iron your uniform every morning, if it’s not you have to when you get to work. If you are seen to be on duty without a smile on your face or saying hello to everyone you pass, You get pulled in the office. Big Brother is watching! |
What is your job? Firstly After auditioning again once I started my training, I found myself in three different shows with songs to learn and routines to perform, are the normal duties. You have to Run kids |

It’s isn’t just about the work it’s about what you can learn. I learnt a lot about the industry, about the technical side and everything that goes on backstage on shows as sometimes you are the backstage |
