Eric Rushton
One of the smash hits of last year’s Edinburgh Fringe comes to Leeds
In 2004, Eric Rushton was cast in his primary school Nativity. Despite absolutely smashing it, he immediately retired from being a child actor. Now he’s found the correct antidepressants to give showbusiness another go.
