Stage Door Chat - Brendan Cole


Hall for Cornwall was delighted to welcome Brendan Cole to Truro on Friday for a two night run of his dance show "Brendan Cole Live and Unjudged".  Two lucky ticket holders won a competition via our Facebook page to meet Brendan for a chat before the show.

Brendan told us that this was his first visit to Cornwall and that he liked the theatre and the stage and was delighted to have sold out both nights.  The opening night was something of a Cole family affair as not only is his brother touring in the show with him but his Mum had travelled in to see the show for the first time that night.

Brendan was not courting controversy and refused to be too drawn on many aspects of "Strictly".  However he told us that he gets on very well with Craig - it's just that he "doesn't agree" with a lot of his feedback! There was also a wry acknowledgement that Len might not necessarily approve of his use of capes in some of the show choreography!

Talking about the show, Brendan admitted that it was quite demanding in terms of energy. He assured us that he does get out of breath - even if it doesn't seem like it from the audiences' point of view!  He was kind enough to give our competition winners 20 minutes of his time and signed their programme as well as a poster for our Stars Restaurant.

Brendan expressed the hope that he would return to Hall for Cornwall at some point in the future.  We look forward to seeing him when he does!
