On 4th December 2024, it was announced that vocalist/guitarist Ed Randall is to join Showaddywaddy.

Ed trained in Musical Theatre at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, and over the last 20 years has performed extensively in the West End and touring the UK and abroad.

Most notably Ed recreated the title role of Buddy Holly in the revival of the hit musical Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story for the 2006 national UK and Scandinavian tour, and again soon after in the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End. He has revisited this role many times including UK tours of Rock ‘n’ Roll Heaven and The Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Tours Of Them All, and also Buddy Holly – The Concert (Windsor Theatre Royal), and for a special appearance at the London Palladium for Friday Night Is Music Night in 2017 to celebrate the shows of Bill Kenwright.

Other West End and touring roles include Paul Seymour in BIG (Dominium Theatre); Barney Ales in Motown The Musical (original UK cast – Shaftesbury Theatre); Bob Cratchit in Scrooge (London Palladium & UK tour); Barry Gibb of “The Bee Gees” in Saturday Night Fever (UK tour); Peter [u/s Jesus] in Jesus Christ Superstar (UK/German tour); Roger Davis in Rent (Greenwich Theatre).

Ed regularly performs as Björn Ulvaeus in Mania – The ABBA Tribute touring globally (and Shaftesbury Theatre, London), and has played in the leading UK Oasis tribute band Oasish as Noel Gallagher.

Ed is so excited to return to the world of Rock ‘n’ Roll with Showaddywaddy and is really looking forward to hitting the road!
