Company for Robbie tribute.

Byline: Neil Hodgson 

LET me entertain you was in the vocabulary of former child entertainer Luke Gibbard from an early age - now it has gain fresh significance with a production company for his Robbie Williams tribute act.

Luke, 25, from Ness, is behind Big Dark Blue Productions, with his parents Diana and Michael.

Ultimately he hopes to handle a stable of acts catering for all tastes, but initially he is concentrating on his Robbie stage show and Deetour, a musical duet with fellow singer Amy Normanton.

He first performed aged 11 with Wirral Theatre School, including a West End show and was the youngest performer to take on the role of Barnum.

Since then he has worked as an actor for the giant Disney corporation and Madame Tussaud's and more recently performed as Robbie Williams for a leisure company in Menorca.

Mrs Gibbard said: "Luke's Robbie act was getting standing ovations, so we know the product is strong enough."

His first Robbie show under the new venture is at Neston Civic Hall in January and Luke said: "The show is selling well and we hope to repeat it in other locations around the country. If people like the concept we are willing to go anywhere."
