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, driver, engineer and street performance artist, before becoming a professional entertainer in the mid 80s.
I founded a Charity that supports vulnerable families living in poverty and I've picked up a few awards over the years, but I'm still a down-to-earth bloke from Bolton with a bit of a story to tell...

In recognition of his dedication to supporting the needy. Eddie has received a total of seven commendations from British, Australian, French and South African Ambassadors to Thailand.
In 2019 Eddie was also greatly honoured to become a "Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts" based in London. Eddie's Fellowship was awarded in recognition of his significant contributions to supporting vulnerable people living in the slums of Bangkok and in Hill-Tribe communities located in Jungles straddling the Thailand/Burma borders. (Previous Fellows have included Stephen Hawking, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx and Benjamin Franklin).
He has collected numerous awards and accolades from organisations like Rotary International, Soroptimists groups and expatriate loyal societies like the Bangkok St. Georges Society, British Women's Group and St Andrews society.
He has also been invited to give professional Lectures on the subject of "Slap-stick Comedy Performance" to Drama students at many top-class British International Schools including Harrow and Shrewsbury, and for University students.
Eddie settled back into his home-town of Bolton, Greater Manchester, UK in early 2022 where he is now looking at ways to present and share his unique life story and his award winning TV documentary, "That Fat Bloke from Bolton".

‘We all laugh in the same language’
The Bolton clown who performed in refugee camps
Dani Cole Nov 1
The topic isn’t an easy or comfortable one, but we think the story of Eddie Haworth is worth sitting with. After a difficult childhood in Bolton, Eddie went on to become a clown in the refugee camps of Thailand. Out of a very sad beginning to his life, he was able to craft a life full of laughter. One of the reasons Joshi set up The Mill was to shine a spotlight on the lives of those who don’t generally receive a huge amount of media attention. We hope this counts as one of them.
Fair warning: This article contains an account of child sexual abuse, but well worth reading!

Note from Eddie, May 2023.
Just sayin... as I enter the final phase of my existence on this planet... My life has been an amazing roller coaster, filled with ups and downs that have all been very character building to say the least...
I'm so glad that it will end with me knowing absolutely nothing about anything that's been shown on TV or anything that's been published in the press, as I haven't had a TV for at least 18 years and I've never read any newspapers since the 4th of May 1979. I'm also happy to know that I've never seen any so-called block buster films in my entire life, even the ones I've been in.
My only concern is for young people who are being born into this world where they will grow up struggling to deal with problems caused by global markets, domestics wars and climate change.
I'm sorry and I'm ashamed... I and my generation should have done more to stop the rot that started in the 70s and 80s.
