'I am absolutely overwhelmed to be cast in the role of the legend that is Chris Needs. Not only did I admire Chris very much, I was also honoured to have called him a friend.
We talked together many times on the radio and he was always so encouraging and enthusiastic about all of the theatrical or writing projects in which I was involved.
I wrote for him too in the form of a comedy song which he sang on his show....we had a lot in common.
We both were pianists, came from more or less the same area and shared a huge love of comedy. We often laughed together till it hurt. I am very touched to have Gabe’s personal blessing in being cast in this special role.
They are big shoes to try and fill but I will give it everything I’ve got to try and honour his memory and legacy'.
