Biography

Tim Ames is a South Coast based, full-time professional entertainer. A versatile vocalist with a nice line in cheeky patter, he is a performer equally at home in venues as diverse as 5 star Mediterranean hotels; intimate cocktail lounges; adult-only resorts and family holiday parks.

He is an accomplished singer of the Rat-Pack style swing standards which have seen such a resurgence in recent years, but also takes great pleasure in reminding people of the great British vocalists of that era by performing lesser heard songs made famous by the likes of Matt Monro, Anthony Newley and Adam Faith. Combining these with sing-along crowd-pleasers from artists as varied as Neil Diamond; The Drifters; and even Morecombe and Wise (!!!), Tim always produces an evening with wide-ranging appeal.

Like many before him, Tim served his apprenticeship as a resident entertainer for one of the major holiday companies, and this influence is still evident today in his warm, inclusive style of comedy treating his audience as co-conspirators rather than victims!!! Mixing audience participation routines; true stories and jokes old and new, he never misses an opportunity to recruit willing individuals in his show to join in the fun and occasional mayhem.

Tim has worked far and wide, spending 2 successful seasons on Majorca and Cyprus, before returning to the UK in 2004. Recently, Tim has had a nicely full diary working extensively for Shearings with regular cabarets in at least ten of their South Coast hotels. Additionally he has appeared on various occasions for Warners, Hollybush Hotels, Hoburne Holiday Parks, Shorefield Holidays and many, many others.

In addition to cabaret, Tim takes on all manner of private bookings for events as diverse as charity auctions, fund-raisers, Christmas lunches and, on one memorable occasion in 2006, a 100th birthday party!!!
