    How did you get started in business?

    I trained as an actor I went to East 15 acting school. When I came out of drama school, I did a lot of theatre and education, a lot of pantomimes, that sort of stuff I did two adverts I was in Doctor’s, and I did a profit share theatre show. I think I made about six grand in one year and was like, I need to make some money.

    My friend was doing kids parties for another company I just thought, I can do this. I’d done lots of kids entertaining. I really enjoyed a children’s audience.
