Dave Black, from Colchester, Essex, has decided to give up his job as a bus controller to become a full time Elvis Presley tribute act. Since he was a child, Dave had wanted to be an entertainer and, after entering a talent competition at work a few years ago, he discovered that he had a natural flair for impersonating the king of rock ‘n' roll. Now 52, he is finally ready to take the plunge. He has taken redundancy and has invested over £10,000 in costumes and singing lessons, to
enhance his performance – from lavish jumpsuits to expensive wigs.On a mission to sell his act to England's thriving holiday park sector, we follow Dave as he attends a nationwide talent showcase. He will have just 10 minutes to impress some of England's leading entertainment agents and bookers.Already on the agents' books is Karen Tomlinson (a.k.a. ‘Jessie J'). Known for her high energy and on-point delivery, Karen tours the country delivering her act – with the summer holidays being her busiest period. But Karen has been off the circuit for a couple of years, following
the birth of her son, and is only just coming back. With staycations putting higher demands on entertainers in this most competitive of industries, the pressure is on. We follow her over the six-week summer holidays as she racks up thousands of miles on the road and performs to venues across the country, all the while juggling commitments with her role as a parent.
