In 1987 Tony Forward won a national competition for humourous
after-dinner speaking but has enjoyed praise and acknowledgement as
one of the most popular speakers in the UK since 1979.
Tony has spoken on the after-dinner circuit at many and varied
functions in the UK, Europe, USA and New Zealand.
After his retirement as a senior policeman, during which time his
fees for speaking were donated to charity, he continued performing
and has gained an enviable reputation for his humour and anecdotal
style.
At his speaking engagements Tony often tells of his early days as a
policeman and these stories are humourously linked to the occasion
either in response on behalf of the guests or as a talk entitled "A
funny thing happened on the way to the station".
He can be relied upon to be suitable for any audience, mixed or
otherwise. He is never blue and has a style which is comfortably
anecdotal rather than one-liners.
As his accolades imply, he has the experience and skill to blend
with his audience, to give them the after-dinner speech that will
keep them laughing long after the event has ended.
