With an interactive style dressed and speaking as the wartime prime Minister Stewart takes his audiences on a journey illustrated by an array of images including lesser-known slides.  Stewart has studied his hero Winston Churchill for decades, and gained valuable insights through his membership of the International Churchill society and the creation of a special chair complete with secret humidor drawer.  Audience members have great fun taking selfies sitting in the £5,000 Limited Edition Churchill chair sporting cigar, homburg and Victory sign.
