About An Evening with… Christopher Biggins
From Porridge to I’m A Celebrity, Christopher Biggins has graced our screens for more than 30 years.
This multi-talented actor, humorist, writer and national treasure, who counts the world’s most glamorous stars as his best friends, is bringing his inimitable sense of humour and warmth to Henley this February for An Evening With… fundraiser for The Kenton.
Christopher has been a mainstay on British television for years, appearing in the iconic I, Claudius and Poldark. More recently, he won over a huge new audience when he was crowned King Of The Jungle after winning series seven of the hit ITV1 show, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Christopher’s career started in theatre, and he continues to perform on the stage to this day, with his annual appearance in pantomimes, wearing his iconic dame costumes.
An Evening With… Christopher Biggins will be full of lively discussion, clips and a special auction with proceeds going to the theatre.
