Famed for his show-stopping sense of humour and an amazing powerful voice, Mike Doyle has had yet another successful TV series for BBC One Wales ‘The Lyrics Game’. This show follows several highly successful series of his other TV show for BBC One Wales simply entitled ‘Mike Doyle’.
Mike has made such an impact with that TV series that BBC Radio Wales gave him his own six part radio series entitled ‘Mike’s Music Quiz’. This was an instant success and a second series was broadcast this summer and autumn and if that’s not enough he has also released a CD of songs taken from one of his TV series entitled ‘Mike Doyle Live’. The CD is released on the Sain record label and is available from all good record stores or www.presentable.co.uk
There is more to Mike Doyle than you think. Since winning ‘Opportunity Knocks’ in 1988 he has become one of the most sought after multi talented performers in the UK. He has received Stage Comedy Newcomer of the Year at the ‘British Comedy Awards’, appeared on ‘The Royal Variety Show’, had his own network series for the BBC, ‘Something for the Weekend’, his own series for HTV, ‘The Mike Doyle Show’, as well as two one-hour St David’s Day specials entitled ‘Mike Doyle and Friends’, and he has appeared on many top TV series including ‘The Des O’Connor Show’, ‘Celebrity Squares’ and ‘The Generation Game’.
In the West End Mike received great critical acclaim for his larger than life portrayal of the ‘Big Bopper in Buddy’ at the Victoria Palace, and ‘Vince Fontaine’ and the ‘Teen Angel’ in ‘Grease’ at the Dominion Theatre London. His international appearances include stage and TV in America, Canada, Australia and Japan.
Mike’s 1998 record breaking 40 date UK theatre tour ‘Mike Doyle Plays Tribute to Mario Lanza’, and ‘An Evening with Mike Doyle’, received rave reviews and standing ovations at every venue. These high energy shows combined his powerful, breath-taking and stunning tribute to the greatest tenor of all time, with his unique brand of observational, family comedy, international vocal impressions and powerful performances of the best loved songs.
He was then invited to appear on TV throughout the country; on BBC’s celebrity culinary series ‘Sing for your Supper’, and he was immediately booked to headline on P&O Luxury Cruise Liners, and also the first ever artist to perform on P&O Cruises’ brand new £200m world class super liner ‘Aurora’ during its maiden voyage in 2001.
