Clive is passionate about local theatre and has taken part in numerous community productions which has led both him and his dog Geezer to become local celebrities. He was recently honoured with a pink plaque at the theatre as part of a scheme to celebrate community champions.

"I’m going to do an access degree in virtual arts and theatre, so I can come back through the doors after university at the Theatre Royal in two years.
"I’ve really got to thank the theatre, Big Issue and the college for being so supportive of me along the way. It’s been a really amazing day."
