Andy Gray Steps In As Narrator In THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW As Of Nov 8

Following the tragic loss of much-lovEd Scottish actor Gerard Kelly, it has been confirmed that Andy Gray, a close friend of Gerard, will play the role of the narrator in Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show at the Kings Theatre in Glasgow from 8 November 2010.

Andy Gray said: "One of the last things Gerard and I spoke about was how much fun we had doing the Rocky Horror Show and how much we both loved it, so I think he would be very happy knowing I have stepped into his shoes in his absence."

Scottish actor and comedy writer Andy Gray has previously appeared in The Rocky Horror Show and has had an extensive career in TV, film and on stage. Andy played alongside Gerard Kelly in the 1987 sitcom City Lights and in a production of The Odd Couple at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Also well known for his pantomime in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Andy has appeared in Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Dick Whittington and Aladdin. He also co-wrote and co-starred in the BBC Radio Scotland sketch show Naked Radio and its later television counterpart Naked Video.

Ambassador Theatre Group said: "All of us associated with The Rocky Horror Show have been shocked and saddened by the news of Gerard's untimely death and are enormously grateful to Andy Gray for taking over in Glasgow."
