A question of taste: Michael Twomey

CORK theatre stalwart Michael Twomey was one half of the Chah and Miah duo on 1970s TV show Hall’s Pictorial Weekly. 

He will appear in ‘That’s Entertainment’ at the Everyman on Sunday, a show that features many of the classic hits from the golden era of the MGM musicals.

Best recent book: I’ve just finished One Leg Too Few, the story of the English comedy duo, Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore. The title of the book comes from their most famous sketch, where Dudley Moore, as a one-legged man, auditions for the role of Tarzan in a forthcoming film. When Cha & Miah appeared in the early 1970s, there were those who thought we were imitating Cooke and Moore, who did a similar act to ours on English TV. Not so — we didn’t even know then that they existed.
