That Fat Bloke from Bolton
Mr EDDIE HAWORTH FRSA RETURNED TO HIS VERY FIRST THEATRE AFTER DECADES OF WORLD TRAVEL
Happily, I was given my first Theatre posting at Bolton's Octagon Theatre when it first opened in 1968.
In 2022, after five decades of traveling the world, I found my way back to Bolton and have been delighted to revisit the theatre and many other memorable places in my hometown.
About this so-called Fat Bloke from Bolton... (AKA Eddie Haworth FRSA)

Quote, Eddie Haworth FRSA
I was raised in Bolton by a loving family who were unaware of the dark secrets that filled me with a great need to express myself, often in the wrong way but also through my artistic side. I spent most of my adult life working as a labourer, engineer and street performance artist, before becoming a professional Circus entertainer in the mid 80s. I founded a registered Charity in 2005, then I was greatly honoured as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, London in 2019. |

Although I have no academic qualifications, I believe I have gathered a wealth of knowledge through experience, surviving the rigors of life as a hand-to-mouth itinerant worker and as an entertainer living in countries throughout the whole of Europe, Scandinavia, USA, Middle eastern counties, India, China and pretty much every country in South east Asia.
