Just another day in ShakeAway Reading

Kyle Shakette >>>

Kyle has size 17 feet which is fine except for the fact that he accidentally stands on a lot of peoples' toes - as you can see the pain in the photo of the guy behind him.

All that aside, Kyle has won several tap dancing awards including Loudest Tapper in Berkshire (quite easy when you've goes skies for feet) and he appears in the Guinness Book of Records for
"Most Tap-Step-Ball-Changes in One Minute".

Often seen dressed as a cowboy in pubs around Reading where he performs Country Music, Kyle is working on his first demo song which is called
"Here's My Mobile, Call Someone Who Cares",
and he's writing a love song to his girlfriend called
"Shave Your Legs, Darlin', I'm On The Bus Home".
All very emotional and heartfelt stuff.

Like Becky (below), Kyle speaks Polish and they are very pleased to welcome Polish visitors and explain all about ShakeAway in their language. He did perform some of his Country songs in Polish but they sounded a bit rubbish with his fake Texan accent.



<<< Becky Shakette

Meet Becky,
another Boss of ShakeAway Reading!

Becky's really interesting to meet and talk to because it's not often you get to meet the actual great-granddaughter of the man who invented the limerick. This ancient skill has remained in her genes, and Becky's favourite is:

"There was an old lady called Florrie
Whose mouth was as big as a quarry.
She opened it wide
And there inside
Was a man backing out in a lorry!"

This sort of beautiful poetry brings tears to our eyes. Becky has a repertoire of 7,341 limericks, so please do ask her to say one for you.

Becky also speaks fluent German, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Dutch, so feel free to use those languages, and even when she protests, keep going - she's just being modest.

 You Tube. You do.
