Don’t miss this brand new production of Tim Whitnall’s Olivier Award-winning play starring Craig Urbani as comedy icon, Eric Morecambe.
Directed by Alan Swerdlow, the show is a moving, often hilarious tale about one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers: from humble beginnings in Music Hall to 28 million viewers on Christmas Day, it’s the heart-warming, tear-jerking, laughter-inducing story of the man what brought us the sunshine.
What do you think of it so far? Brilliant!
A whistle-stop tour of the life of John Eric Bartholomew OBE, best known as one half of the cherished comedy duo Eric and Ernie, Morecambe and Wise, a partnership that lasted from 1941 until Morecambe’s death. Morecambe took his stage name from his home town, the seaside resort of Morecambe, where a statue of the popular comedian stands, unveiled by the Queen in 1999.
FIVE STAR REVIEWS!
“Hilarious!” London Times
“”Glows with affection. An utter delight. Never mind writing a prescription for Prozac. Doctors should be able to dispense free tickets for Morecambe.
I have rarely experienced a warmer, funnier or more touching one-man show.” Daily Telegraph
“You don’t have to know your show-biz history to get the point. This is a show that bubbles with life and laughter.
When I saw it the audience stood as one to applaud it.” British Theatre Guide
