Background and Description
Dodgie Williams aka Kevin Pearce, has been performing as a Robbie Williams impersonator since 1997. He is one of the most respected Robbie Williams tribute acts in the world. Recent performances at sell out venues and the numerous positive comments from clients and celebrities, including Robbie all help to establish Dodgie Williams as the first choice for your corporate event, wedding, party or live venue.
Robbie on Dodgie
In a recent interview on Signal Radio, Robbie said he had heard Dodgie was very good. He also commented after seeing a live DVD of Dodgie performing in Stokes Victoria Hall theatre that Dodgie is a very confident & cocky performer. I wonder where he got that from ?
Dodgie on Robbie
"Even before I started working as Dodgie Williams, I was a fan of Robbie's. I don't think I could have continued to perform as long as I have if I didn't like him or his music."
"The way he controls his audience is amazing, he is in my opinion the best live performer of modern times and in years to come, I think he will be remembered along with the likes of Queen, Beatles, Tom Jones & U2."
Dodgie on Dodgie
I was born and still live in Stoke a few miles from where Robbie grew up. This makes sounding like him very easy."
"I don't really have to try all that hard to sound like Robbie, my natural accent and tone give me a massive advantage, I can just concentrate on my performance and make sure the audience enjoy the show."
"This is the best job in the world, I love the feeling of knowing people are having a great time because of my performance and I hope I can continue to do it for many years to come."
Facts about Dodgie
Dodgie began singing publicly at the age of 7 and appeared in a number of amateur productions.
At the age of 15, he told his careers advisor he wanted to be a singer. They said he couldn't be a singer and was told to pick a proper job... Since leaving school he has been asked to return on a number of occasions to help raise funds for them.
Dodgie received good comments from Robbie's former flat mate Jonathan Wilkes and his now wife Nikki Wheeler (Robbie's dancer at Knebworth) when Dodgie was invited to be a guest at the opening night of the Rocky Horror show, in which Jonathan performed.
Dodgie has appeared on TV a number of times and the most memorable was on a programme called Sky High, a programme looking at the Midlands and its famous places and people. He was asked to sing Let Me Entertain You in the pub where Robbie grew up (the Red Lion, Burslem). The News of the World wrote a full page spread about Dodgie following this appearance in their Sunday magazine.
Dodgie has worked with a number of celebrities from TV and music, the most recent being Howard Donald.
In September 2003 Dodgie Williams promoted and sold out the 1100 seat theatre at the Victoria Hall, a venue where Robbie himself has performed.

Comments & Feedback
May I thank Kevin 'Dodgie' and the rest of the team for your performance at the 2005 APPRO conference at Alton Towers. APPRO (Association of Police Public Relations Officers) has representatives from all 43 UK Police Forces and each year one force hosts the only opportunity for the PR professionals in one of the most challenging of roles to join and share time together.
This year Staffordshire Police played host to the conference, and part of my role was to organise the entertainment for the Gala dinner. As you can imagine arranging entertainment for 160 communications, marketing and press experts from all UK is not easy and I was under extreme pressure to impress. Thanks to your performance we certainly did impress. The feedback from colleagues across the UK has been impressive, as was the praise from the conference organising company we had employed.
Once again thank you all for your show and I and the rest of the communications team at Staffordshire Police wish you all the best in the future. David Bailey STAFFORDSHIRE POLICE I would like to thank you and the rest of the band for a fantastic night at Deirdre and Roberts New Year's party. From the minute you walked on stage everybody was on the dance floor and I am sure that you would still be there if we had not called it a day at 1:30am. Needless to say Deirdre and Robert were delighted and have asked me to pass on their thanks.
Looking to the future I would have no hesitation in booking you for future events given the professionalism shown during the course of the evening, especially when the hosts decided to alter the running order at the last minute. It can only happen in the entertainment business!
Pass on our thanks to the rest of the band and I look forward to working with you in the future. Sean Titterington Concept Events management We have used Dodgie Williams on several occasions for events we have promoted, for our clients. On all occasions Dodgie and his band gave a great performance and were very professional from the moment they arrived.
We will certainly be booking Dodgie Williams again and would be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a top class tribute show. Karen Nagle Mills Media The entertainment was fantastic. Robbie Williams went down a storm and he was brilliant. It was just as we wanted and he is a true performer with an inexhaustible repertoire. Several guests have made a note of your dets so fingers crossed he will be kept busy. Richard was also excellent and the dancefloor was busy all night so I think that is a true measure.
Look forward to an opportunity to make use of your services in the future. Leigh
Hi Chris I just wanted to pass on our huge thanks for Friday night - you were all fantastic!!! please pass this onto 'dodgie' and Suzy as well. Everyone who was there was saying how fantastic the show was. One guy said he didn't like Robbie, but thought Dodgie was fantastic - praise indeed!!!
I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did and thank you for making it so special (how are we going to find someone to top that for next year??)
It looks like we have raised over £60k which is a record for us and so are still grinning from ear to ear as a result - thanks for helping us on our way to a fantastic night and fantastic amount raised for Childline
Helen and Carole Helen Capital Corporate Finance Thanks for putting together a great show for lowestoft lions, we had over 400 people on the night.
The band were loud and sounded superb, dodgie was great, when he sung ANGELS I stood at the bar and watched nearly everyone hit the dance floor.
Kylie looked great and certainly sold me alot of tickets without even singing and alot commented on her superb vocals.
From booking to hoping you would turn up on time (which you did), it was a superb show, if you danced all night it was great, if you sat and watched the show, the visual and sound was spot on.
See you next year
Mark Lanham Lowestoft Lions
There is nothing dodgy about Dodgie Williams! The set was amazing and sounded fantastic. You could not fault the quality at all. Not only was the night fantastic but all the work behind the scenes was great too: one call to Chris and it was all organised, leaving me with the rest of the event to worry about.
The video clips do not do Dodgie Williams and the band justice!
Thoroughly recommended - No Regrets at all with the booking! Jaynie Vincent IMT Group Holdings plc You were a joy to work with and more than fulfilled your obligation to the Festival. I would recommend your presentation and work to any other organisation. Very best wishes for the future Jenny Ludlow Festival Events Chairman
Jenny Vaughan Ludlow Festival Events Chairman We just wanted to say a massive thank you to all you guys for making our wedding on the 23rd June 2007
one to remember! All our guests loved being entertained by Dodgie and his band as they gave a fantastic performance. The atmosphere was electric from the minute the guys came on stage. Everyone was up and dancing as Dodgie sung the big hits medley. They really got the party started for us and everyone danced into the early hours. The guys were very professional from the minute they arrived and we will certainly be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a top class tribute show. They were brilliant! Vicky and Steve Ball
