Our Collaboration with Michael McIntyre’s Big Show

We’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible television productions over the years, but one of the most memorable collaborations was with the BBC’s hit programme Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.
Hungry Bear Media, the team behind the show first reached out to Find a Performer back in 2018, looking for authentic Greek musicians for one of the series’ most iconic sketches - the Midnight Gameshow.

A Surprise for Peter Andre

For this episode, Peter Andre was the celebrity target, and the creative team wanted our Greek duo to sneak into Peter’s bedroom in the middle of the night, with Michael McIntyre and some Greek dancers!

Our performers played traditional Greek music on guitar and bouzouki as part of the hilarious surprise segment.

A Return to the Stage at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane

Fast forward to October 2022, and the production team called again - this time for the live recording of two episodes of Michael McIntyre’s Big Show at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
They needed two female violinists and a cellist to perform during two of the live episodes, and as always with these types of bookings it was very short notice, but we enjoy a challenge and were able to respond with available acts within 2 hours.

As always, we quickly sourced professional, reliable, and camera-ready musicians to deliver flawless performances on one of London’s most prestigious stages. The collaboration was smooth, creative, and a testament to our ability to respond quickly to high-profile production needs.

Supplying Performers for Television and Live Events

These two projects with Michael McIntyre’s Big Show highlight what Find a Performer does best - matching the right artists to the right moments. Whether it’s a lighthearted comedy segment in the middle of the night or an elegant string trio for a live television performance, we have the network and expertise to make it happen.

We’re proud to have worked with the talented teams behind both the 2018 and 2022 productions, and to see our performers featured in such memorable TV moments.

If you’re producing a television show, film, or live event and need professional, reliable musicians, dancers, or speciality acts, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.

Lute Player for Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’

When we were first asked if we could provide a lute player for the Netflix show, ‘The Witcher’ we thought was a standard enquiry – maybe a request for a musician to play on the soundtrack or to perform a short cameo role, but we soon found out they had other plans!
