Some are born great, some have greatness thrust upon them, and some are from Bermondsey

Rikki Beadle-Blair is the original don of south London: director, playwright, actor, ring master, dreadlock buster, literary warrior and gay role model par excellence

His receipts include pioneering queer Channel 4 box-set Metrosexuality, genre defining theatre shows like Stonewall, Bashment and Gangsta-Baby and the grass roots schools edu-tainment project Fit

From an accomplished working class dynasty, this product of Lois Acton’s Bermondsey Lamp Post Radical Free School, Rikki has been on the creative frontline of fighting homophobia and racism for five decades and was awarded an MBE in July 2016
