He's appeared in Shakespeare, pantomime and opera plying roles as diverse as Macbeth, Wilbur the pig, Dame Trott, a gnome, and a pencil (a very wooden performance!).

He especially enjoys devising new theatre and taking it to unusual places. Gerald has performed at Glyndebourne Opera House, every shape and size of village hall, museums, school gyms, a MacDonald's restaurant, a 1950s bus, and a trolley park at Asda.

He loves bad jokes.

How did the rocket lose his job? He was fired!

What books do planets read? Comet books!

Christina Denham

Yet she has appeared in human form on the odd occasion as a doctor in Emmerdale saving Marlon's life non the less!

Carla Starkey

Carla Starkey was born in Bath and has come to live in Leeds via London to study at Rose Bruford Drama School; Roman Bath's, Bath to act the fool as Bottom in A Midsummer's Night Dream; Barcelona for puppetry training; Tokyo to run masked theatre workshops and the whole of Spain to wear a fat suit and entertain the Spanish as the Genie from Aladdin.

Carla has been performing since the age of 3, when she made her debut as a cute little dove! She has always wanted to act so that she can continue to travel to exciting far off lands.

Carla is very keen to holiday in space as ever since she was a child she has been the shortest, but in space the lack of gravity means our bones are not pulled together and you actually grow slightly!! Her new mission is to act her way into space and meet the Martian of her dreams and live happily ever after on the Moon.
