Eddie and Victor will discuss their experiences on their respective career journeys, current affairs and local issues before taking questions from the audience.

It promises to be an entertaining and informative evening with two local prominent voices.

He has appeared in comedy series including Desmonds and the Real McCoy, and Death in Paradise to name a few. His radio show is a must listen for London commuters during drive time.
