News about Jon Culshaw

In 1993, her father died of a heart attack at the age of 62. Charlotte Dawson, 30, has praised Jon Culshaw, 54, for her 'uncanny' portrayal of her late father Les in the stage show Flying High, which is currently touring the country. After watching her mother Tracy, 71, on Wednesday night, the actress took to Instagram the following day to praise her performance alongside pictures of her pulling her dad's iconic gurn.

Les Dawson died nearly 30 years ago, but Jon Culshaw (pictured) of Radio 4's Dead Ringers has produced a spectacular revival of Manchester's greatest stand-up at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Dawson was the kind of old-school 1970s stand-up booed by the comedians who make today's Edinburgh Festival establishment.
