A comedy legend, that will have you in fits of laughter in just a few minutes, is bringing his Variety Show to the Blackburn Empire on Thursday 20th February 2020.
Tickets start at just £9 and the funds raised are in aid of the Blackburn Empire Theatre and Blackpool Equity Benevolent Funds.
Johnnie was spotted at a Butlin’s Talent Competition in 1984 and he progressed to the finals at The London Palladium, where he won! Following another winning performance with Opportunity Knocks, he took up comedy full-time.
He was a regular guest on TV shows in the 90s and 2000s including Tonight at the London Palladium, Des O’Connor Tonight, The Paul O’Grady Show and Rock With Laughter.
Michael Berry, chairman at the Blackburn Empire Theatre, said:
“Johnnie is a comedy legend and if you have never seem him before, this is your chance. He has audiences in fits of laughter within seconds. So funny you will be sore from laughing.
“Johnnie is heading up this Variety Show, which will feature singing, dancing and, of course, Johnnie’s classic jokes. We are very grateful that funds will be supporting the theatre too.
“Come along and have an evening of good old-fashioned fun.”
