About Me

I am a versatile actor/musician with a passion for stage performance, particularly  comedic character  roles.

 

This review sums up what I like doing best. 

"Newcombe’s a superbly physical actor, farcical, Faydeau-like in his bendy bobby-dom. Voice all menace, confiding and shock." - Simon Jenner FringeReview, June 2023

I have also played more serious roles such as the Marquis of Queensbury in a bio of Oscar Wilde, Gerry Raffles in a bio of Brendan Behan​ and the sinister Dr Miranda in Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden.

Reviews

"John Newcombe brings on a Broadway-level performance, particularly in his last moments on stage. His bitterness and stiff formality delightfully contrast Clark’s Wilde, and in the end when he reminisces his father and sons, he rises to the great heights of tragic monologues." Dominika Fleszar, Time and Liesure

Full Review

"John Newcombe's portrayal of Queensbury is phenomenal and deserves to be seen on a bigger stage by a larger audience." - Daniel White, Albie Media
