Performer

Richard Usher is a versatile actor and voice artist with a deep love for storytelling and classic radio, often referred to as the “theatre of the mind.” His passion for bringing stories to life is evident in every performance, whether on stage, behind the mic, or in front of the camera.

For Halloween 2024, Richard stepped back into the role of storyteller, delivering a chilling tale of terror – Bram Stoker’s The Judge’s House. Presented by NeuNoir Theatre Company, this haunting production was performed on stage at Stourbridge Town Hall, and a further four sold out performances followed at two National Trust properties in Birmingham and Worcester. Audiences enjoyed an unforgettable experience filled with suspense and atmosphere.

Richard’s talents extend beyond the realm of horror. He is also a seasoned comedy performer, having toured theatres with the first-ever stage adaptations of beloved BBC Radio comedy shows, The Goon Show! and The Navy Lark!. In October 2023, Richard reprised his acclaimed role as Peter Sellers for a special performance celebrating the centenary of writer Larry Stephens at Symphony Hall, Birmingham. This marked his fourth time embodying the legendary Sellers on stage, further solidifying his reputation as a master of both comedy and drama.

Richard Usher continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of storytelling, whether through the eerie tones of a ghost story or the timeless humour of classic radio comedies.
