There are some of us who can pinpoint a magic moment when our lives changed – or perhaps a time when fate intervened to send us on a career path. Gareth Joyner can do both, and there are a pair of them. The first was seeing a Christmas pantomime at the Rotherham Civic Theatre, and the second was performing in an amdrams play.
"But I developed a very creative imagination, and I used to dress up a lot – I made very good use of my mum’s beautiful fur coat, which was stored under the bed. She’d been given it by my grandparents for her 18th birthday, and I think that I wore it more than she ever did. I’d do things like getting my grandad’s old tweed coat, slipping into it, and by putting pegs at the ends of the sleeves, I’d become a scarecrow. Or wear his trilby, and I was immediately a sleuth….I was Batman as well.
Myra Dubois speaks to the public during UEFA Women's EURO 2022 Fan and Spectator Experience on July 23, 2022 in Rotherham, England. At school it was a different matter. “Back then, it was still ‘teaching by rote’, with no room for any creativity. I vividly remember a lesson where we were told that we would be writing to pen friends, from another school, and we got the messages down, and we were told to seal them in an envelope, which is what I did. But then I drew a little ‘picture frame’ around the stamp, and I drew a little seal on the flap at the back.
In London, Gareth had a friend who was brilliant at off the cuff improvisation. The two would imagine a scenario, and they’d develop their themes. “He played a character called Rose, and I was called Myra. Miss Dubois was born. And then I spotted an ad for an open mic night at the legendary Madame Jo-Jo’s club in Soho. Plucking up all my courage, I went along and tried my luck.” They laugh: “Now this is where I tell you that I died a death, and had to slink away, mortified.
