Roger - 17 January 2012 09:05147791Geat entertainer, kept the kids in stitiches at Marlowe Pantomines & was a risque adult comedian on the local club scene.
A big man with a big personality.

*******************************************************************
I was devastated to hear that panto and comedy legend, and tireless charity worker, Dave Lee has died.
I had the pleasure of working with onstage Dave Lee during the 2007 performance of The Jungle Book at the Marlowe Theatre. Dave was the best Baloo the Bear I have ever seen in the role - fun, funny, energetic and enthusiastic. His enthusiasm was contagagious, and we all had a great time when he was onstage.
Backstage he was friendly and chatty - the kids all loved him, and the adults found a friend.
The next time I got to work with him was during Peter Pan at the Marlowe Arena, this time I was front of house, but I still managed to see him a lot, as he would always pop out from his dressing room between shows for a chat and a joke - half-made up and in his dressing gown!
Bless you, Dave, you made my time at the Marlowe one I will never forget. Rest in peace, mate, but if I know you, you'll be organising shows and trips for the kids up in heaven.
