PSYCHIC medium Tony Stockwell will be at the Thameside Theatre in Grays in February, trying to help people contact the “other side”.

Tony one of the country’s most well known mediums, said he knew he was different from other children at an early age because he could see people that others couldn’t and knew about events before they happened.

When he was 16-years-old he was invited by a friend to attend a spiritualist church and he said this is where he found his calling.

Tony said: “I endeavour to do my best for every audience giving them evidential messages from their loved ones and proving their continued existence.

“The demonstrations are often very touching but I try, through humour, to make it more of a celebration, not something morbid.”

Tony has had several television series including Psychic Academy, the Psychic Detective, Street Psychic and Psychic School.

He has also appeared on The 6ixth Sense, Most Haunted Live 4, The Mystery of Body 115 and I’m Famous and Frightened.

Tony, who is from Wickford, really enjoys performing locally. He said: “Essex audiences are always warm and open, they make me feel so welcome and I always enjoy returning.

“People in each area of the country bring something different along to the evening, but working in Essex is always something I can look forward to.

“They understand my accent, of course, which can sometimes be pretty thick.

“I use humour in my demonstrations as I think it relaxes people and the people of Essex understand my quips and jokes.”

Tony’s show starts at 7.30pm on Monday, February 11. Tickets are £17.50. Call the box office on 0845 3005264.
