About me
I graduated with an honours Diploma in Acting in my late fifties after a long and successful career in professional services. I have had a life long passion for performing acting and singing. I’m particularly adept in stage and comedic performance and roles with pathos.My most recent role was playing Gerry Raffles and other characters in the musical drama Brendan, Son of Dublin. Also in 2023, I played Sergeant, Inspector and Old man in Dario Fo's Can't Pay Won't Pay, touring Hove, Clapham, Brighton and Eastbourne with Triada theatre.
"Newcombe’s a superbly physical actor, farcical, Faydeau-like in his bendy bobby-dom. Voice all menace, confiding and shock." - Can't Pay Won't Pay, Simon Jenner FringeReview, June 2023.
Currently I'm rehearsing Circle Mirror Transformation for the Brighton Fringe Festival.
Reviews:
"John Newcombe brings on a Broadway-level performance, particularly in his last moments on stage, and in the end when he reminisces his father and sons, he rises to the great heights of tragic monologues." - Vengeance, Time & Leisure, Dominika Fleszar.
Acting experience:
In the fours years that I have been a professional actor (the first of which was during lockdown) I have appeared in 4 stage plays, 3 musical dramas, 2 student films, a charity promotion video and a corporate training film. Prior to that I appeared in mostly leading roles in over 25 amateur productions.
