An Evening with Blowers

A self-confessed outrageously stuffy old fart, Blowers cannot stand much that goes on in life today. When it comes to things like Political Correctness, good old ‘Elf and Safety, the European Union and all those beloved unelected whatnots in Brussels that try and rule our lives, he becomes, if not apoplectic, at least singularly grumpy. For example, the disappearance of old fashioned light bulbs has given him a distinctly unpleasant shock and has sent him back to his optician.

When it comes to such things, no holds barred, Blowers gives it everything in a good mix of humor, common sense and ridiculousness. He descends like several tons of bricks where he has to. He is constantly flexing his muscles in these directions throughout the show, which will include lots about cricket, broadcasting, writing, food, wine and much more.

With his irreverent approach to life, Blowers often gets his knickers in a twist and everything he says, in the commentary box or on the stage, is often tinged with more than a humorous touch of wickedness. In this new show, he pokes fun at every aspect of his life, mocks pomposity and pretentiousness and there is no one he laughs more at than himself - he spends a good deal of the time with egg all over his face. 

Henry Blofeld began his broadcasting career in the early seventies and in 1972 joined the BBC’s Test Match Special. He has been a regular member ever since and has become the ‘great character’ of the show. Born in 1939, and educated at Eton and Cambridge, he is one of the world’s great eccentrics and should be bottled!
