Brian ConleyBrian Conley (born 1961 Paddington, London, United Kingdom) is an accomplished British comedian with an "act" fashioned in the tradition of the bow tied end of the pier entertainer and targeted at the over forties. He originally started his career as a "red coat" before gaining his "break" as a regular turn on the popular ITV1 variety series Live From Her Majesty's which led to him receiving the compliment of being asked to emcee an edition of the (moderately) popular ITV show Summertime Special. His own TV series (This Way Up and the Brian Conley Show) subsequently followed and he also went on to star in his own sitcom Time after Time as well as the light comedy-drama The Grimleys. However, Conley's breakthrough onto the "small screen" coincided with a changing mood and a "shift" by TV chiefs away from traditional wholesale family entertainers towards more controversial (so called "alternative") comedians and performers. He reached a nadir in 2003 with the reprehensible Judegment Day which was promptly dropped after just one episode having given ITV1 its lowest ever recorded audience share, subsequently little heard from. In February it was announced that Conley is to take the "lead role" in Chitty the Musical at the world famous London Palladium theatre for a 14 week run, commencing in March 2005.
