Off the Cuff

Eddie is currently filming All the Queen's Men in Hungary with Matt le Blanc (from TV's Friends) - where he plays a transvesite cabaret artiste. It is a comedy.

  • As inhabitants of Cambridge, the Tailors would like to apologise to Eddie for the pathetic behaviour of the yob who tried to attack him after a gig for being "a bloke in a dress". Eddie got the better of him anyway!
