Celebrating television's This Is Your Life
Gary WILMOT (1954-)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Gary Wilmot, impressionist, singer and comedian, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews while rehearsing for the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Lewisham Theatre.
Gary had a procession of jobs, including working on building sites and in factories, before he chose to try his luck in show business. After performing on the variety club circuit, he got his big break appearing on the ITV's talent show New Faces.
This led to more television work including comedy series such as Copy Cats and Saturday Gang, and appearances on London's regional magazine programme The Six O'Clock Show. In 1985 his summer season in Blackpool was followed by a headline grabbing performance at that year's Royal Variety Performance.
