PLAYERS' REVUE 1995

This Players' Revue was conducted on Saturday the 17th June 1995 and featured acts presented by MGGC members.

The photographs capture some of the acts and outfits.

The album itself is titled “Players Revue 1995” and a scan of the cover appears as the first image. Some of the contents have not been scanned where they duplicate other images in the archive.

A - The Judges (Eleven images)

Judges for the night were Peter Castley, Peter Doherty and Robbie Taylor as they appear (left to right) in the first revue image. They all appear in a variety of evangelical attire and named themselves as Pope Peter, Father Peter, and Sister Robbie respectively.

B - Master of Ceremonies Kevin Atkins (Seven images)

1994 Director of House Kevin Atkins appeared in several different jackets during the night.

Photograph attachments 8 to 12

F - Rocky Horror Show - Time Warp Song (Thirteen images)

Those appearing in the act were Mike Petkovich (long white wig), Irene Petkovich, Joan Rann (black outfit and white apron), Karyn Mears, Russell Bailey dressed as Dr. Frank-N-Furter (wearing sequined corset and stockings), Trish Ditz (bowler hat and blue coat), George Kirby (standing on table). There are also two other men who could not be identified.

In one image Mike Petkovich is greeting Ron Williamson and his wife Kaye.

G – Audience (Three images)

H – Kath Cooper – unknown act (Two images)

I – Joanne Kirton – unknown act (Two images)

J - Ian Mears as British comedian Frank Spencer (Five images)

Ian’s act as Frank Spencer won the night. In the act he mocked the characters of several club members. Perhaps appropriately, a picture of Queen Elizabeth appears on the wall behind the stage for his act.

K – Ron Hendrie, Ron Shuard and Ron Williamson (Four images)

Perhaps the Three Ronnies, a take on the Two Ronnies British comedy?

The photographs were scanned from an album donated by club members Laurie and Rosa Palmer and another album prepared by Terry McCall (Archive Item 2022.340). It is likely that Terry McCall took many, if not all the photographs.

None of the photographs were identified in the Palmer album but those in Terry McCall’s album were. Further identification was completed with the assistance of club members Max Hannah, Margaret O’Brien, Peter Doherty, Ian Mears and Mike Petkovich.
