  • Steve Hewlett on Steve Hewlett - Eyes & Teeth - Episode One, Season One
    Mar 23 2025

    Welcome to Eyes and Teeth the Podcast.

    I have loved creating this podcast now an archive of conversation in the World of Showbusiness. You can find them all on You Tube as well as Buzzsprout, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more.

    Over 200 episodes with very talented people across show business.

    In this episode I modestly shout about my career from being inspired to working some of the greatest theatres in the UK. I talk about my obvious TV Break on BGT in 2013 as well as my early talent shows in the 90's where I built my confidence and my act.

    As a ventriloquist I have seen the world, and entertained millions, and as I approach 50 on April 29th 2025, I am still enjoying performing but I find myself writing things including a book 'Ventriloquest', Screenplays and more that have nothing to do with the ventriloquist. I can say that I feel more creative than ever and that must be the wisdom talking.

    Enjoy my Lockdown project that kept me smiling and laughing 'Eyes and Teeth'.

    Jun 7 2024

    On this final episode with Sir Ken Dodd the tribute to the King of Comedy.
    Thanks for listening to Eyes & Teeth. Please download, share and review over 200 episodes for free...

    Sir Ken Dodd was a national treasure and loved for over 70 years across the UK as one of our finest Comedians and Ventriloquists. He was the 6th Beatle, a pioneer, an encyclopaedia of humour and master of his stage craft. Ken adored people and spent time passing advice onto younger performers and even spent time talking equally to his fans, on trains, in libraries or at stage doors.
    I was lucky enough to tour with Ken Dodd for 5 years across the UK.
    He to me was my Godfather of Showbusiness and someone I will never forget watching from the wings during my spots.
    He was a one off but thanks to his wife Lady Anne Jones, Ken's legacy will live on for another 90 years and beyond and Knotty Ash will forever hold his heart and memories.
    In the final two episodes of Eyes and Teeth you can hear chats with Amethyst's Danny Hunt, Keith Simmons, Hilary O Neil, Nigel; Hogg, John Fisher, Anne Dodd, alongside many clips of the mans incredible work. Enjoy The land of the Diddy Man Doddy.

  • Sir Ken Dodd - The Specials - Eyes and Teeth - Season 16 - Episode 7 - Part One
    May 24 2024

    Sir Ken Dodd's career spanned over 70 years in show business and might I say at the Top of his game. He was Liverpool's very own and even The Beatles adored him as one of the greatest comedians we have ever seen.
    Doddy as he was known to millions had an encyclopaedia of a mind for comedy words, gags, routines and song whilst also topping the charts with his own albums as he had a beautiful voice he didn't even need comedy to earn his living.
    Ken Dodd stayed true to his roots and never left his childhood home in Knotty Ash, Liverpool. He was Mr Variety, the GodFather of Comedy and King of the Diddy men.

    Although we lost Ken aged 90, he was still planning to return to the stage to continue touring but nature took its course and took from us an idol and someone who inspired many generations of comedians, actors, singers, magicians and ventriloquists across the country.
    In my final podcast in tribute to Sir Ken I talk with his friends, writers, support acts and his dear wife Lady Anne Jones about the man they loved and adored. And now he has left us there is more Doddy out there than ever so he will always be in Liverpool.
    Welcome to Eyes & Teeth Sir Ken Dodd xxx
