12th May 2025: (Second Monday of the month due to Bank Holiday) Tony Harris - "Henry VIII England's Favourite King"

Tony Harris is a professional comedian, raconteur and actor who specialises in historical talks with a twist. He dresses and becomes the person in question, re-enacting the events.

Tony learnt his Tudor trade at the feet of major historical experts and has been bringing his unique blend of history and comedy to the speaker circuit for the last 6 years.

Tony lived and worked at Hampton Court Palace for 2 years and played Henry VIII for the benefit of more than half a million tourists. His aim is to trick people into learning by making them laugh, but every point he makes is historically accurate.
