Freddie Starr

About

Freddie Starr (born Frederick Leslie Fowell) has been a fixture on the British comedy, music, television and performing arts scenes since the late-1950s. As a musician, Starr fronted The Midnighters, a pop group managed by famed Beatles' manager Brian Epstein, in the 1960s. He began to find himself with a number of television roles and performance opportunities falling at his feet starting the the early-1970s, when he became popular after appearing on a British talent show entitled Opportunity Knocks. As a notable jack-of-all-trades type of personality, Starr has dabbled in a variety of ventures, from game show hosting to an appearance on Celebrity Fit Club, over the decades and continues to tour regularly.
