Cameo in a 6 Second Film!

Last night I got the chance to meet up with some friends of mine after performing a show nearby. Naturally after coming straight from the show I was still in full slap and motley (Clown make-up).

Being creative people, who never let an opportunity pass, we decided to film a vine. For those who do not know, a ‘vine’ is an app on a phone that allows the user to make short films that are only 6 seconds long. This is great for short sketches and funny scenes, and it wasn’t long before we came up with a concept.

Look out for my brief ‘cameo’ appearance and thanks to Dave and Alan for a fun evening. ;-p

Bye for now,

TV Drama appearance – 35 Diwrnod

Recently I had a call from a production company based at the TV studios at Culverhouse cross in Cardiff asking if I would be willing to perform on one of their new productions. 35 Diwrnod; a drama series for S4C.

After meeting with the production company, I discovered that I knew some of the crew from other TV programmes that I have been involved in. The filming went well, and it took around five hours to film the brief sequence in which I appear as an outsider witnessing the beginning of an event.

You can see the end result in the pictures above,  but to find out why my party was interrupted by some uninvited guests you’ll have to watch the series. (Mums & Dads only)

Mr. T.Ricks on BBC Radio Wales!

Yesterday, if you tuned into BBC Radio Wales you might have heard me on the radio! I was asked to talk on air with Steffan Garrero about an article that appeared in The Independent. According to the article,  America is currently suffering a shortage of clowns as younger generations are not taking up the craft.

I was on air for over 10 minutes talking about the art, and how people can become a clown. This was a little tricky for Steffan who is  Coulrophobic, or in other words, has a fear of clowns! However I kept my funny stuff to a minimum and he coped rather well. He even managed to bravely pose for a picture with me, and as you can see, he was delighted! :-p

Mr. T. Ricks on BBC Radio WalesHopefully I can meet him with again at some point, and perhaps help him cure his phobia! In the meantime you can here me on the show here: Mr. T.Ricks on BBC Radio Wales. (I’m on at about 02:41:00)

Bye for now!
