Clash of the psychics heads to Spa Theatre
Clinton Baptiste and Ramone Tamine are take to the road to play out their bitter rivalry in theatres up and down the land and are in Scarborough next month. Clinton is the notorious clairvoyant medium psychic who bravely tells the punters what the spirits are saying … whether the recipient is willing to hear the bald truth or not.
Ramone is a Scottish soothsayer and spirit-channeller from the Caledonian cabaret circuit. His expertise in the Dark Arts is surpassed only in the dexterity of his cutting Glaswegian bitchiness.
These coiffured titans of the Unknown – the flamboyant Clinton and his Scottish nemesis Ramone – possess otherworldly skills that have rightly attracted audiences all over the world.
But despite the fact that each has a third eye they find it impossible use it to see eye to eye. Both claims to be a true mystical seer but each insists that the other one isn’t!
Now their very public spat is threatening to undermine them. Even the Parapsychological Institute of Great Britain feels that these two silly fakirs are bringing the serious subject of mediumship into disrepute. Repeated requests to desist the slander have fallen on deaf ears and now their rivalry is about to escalate to epic proportions.
So, buckle up for a battle of charisma, verbal one up-manship and hair-raising paranormal wizardry as the two megastars meet to finally decide who holds the title of “Britain’s Greatest Paranormalist”.
