BEST known for playing Sgt ‘Motor Mouth’ Jones in the hugely-successful Police Academy films, Michael Winslow is now bringing his The Man Of 10,000 Voices show to the Lighthouse Poole on June 2.

As seen and heard in Police Academy, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Spaceballs, Gremlins and many more, Winslow is on tour in the UK for the first time, following his sell out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which garnered amazing reviews and sold every single seat during his month’s run at the prestigious arts festival last August.

Winslow can imitate the impossible using only his voice. Whether it’s the frenzy of Jimmy Hendrix playing the guitar, or a special treat for Star Wars fans, Michael is the master of vocal gymnastics and a comedy star.

Born in 1958 on Fairchild Air Force Base, Michael would imitate the airplane noises and jet engines and soon he was on stage at Tulagi’s, Colorado, where Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, and various other famous bands had played. Hearing that a group of Hendrix fans were present, he decided to portray him and, from the ovation that followed, Michael knew his calling.

Michael went on to provide the voice of Stripe in Stephen Spielberg’s Gremlins, and to star in National Lampoon’s Robo Doc and Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs.

You can also hear him in various episodes of Family Guy, King Of The Hill!, and Robot Chicken.
