Martin Thompson
Childrens' entertainer for Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Carmarthen
and the rest of Wales.
Martin Thompson
has appeared on television - both national & local, including
Noel Edmonds' Multicoloured Swap Shop, Home to
Wales (BBC 2), Dinas, Coleg (HTV), Pobol Y Cwm
(S4C), The Real Merlin documentary following
the film Merlin (S4C). He is a member of Equity.
Martin qualified
as a science teacher at Swansea in 1979, and
has youth work experience. He has recently
become a first aider. Martin has extensive
experience in entertainment, particularly with children's shows.
With the assistance of his "trusty" robot dog, Mascot,
is able to entertain with games, competitions, quizzes,
activities, magic and balloon modelling.
He started with
discos in the late '70's and developed a
successful children's show, travelling as far
as Aberystwyth, Brecon, Cardiff and the Isle of Wight.
The mid '80's to
the '90's saw the launch of the outdoor roadshow, which has
toured most of south Wales and as far as London,
and has done shows for children with special needs including the
Variety Club of Great Britain and
Children of Chernobyl. The Public Address was another
area which saw him and
Adam covering the
Welsh Sheep Dog Trials 1998.
Martin and his
crew have magic, puppets and various routines in conjunction
with Morriston Hospital's Radio Freeway to entertain the
children whilst collecting their record requests from the
special 'Oakwood' children's ward. He has been greatly
influenced by Robin Williams' role in the film 'Patch Adams', in
helping the healing process and creating
Ted's Team - with laughter
being the best medicine.
Martin's interests
include photography and science fiction. His houshold includes
two cats and the original Mascot robot dog, who is over 20 years
old that appeared on national television.
"Entertainers are advised to avoid children and animals - Martin
Thompson revels in both, even though Mascot is not quite
canine!"
