A brand new production from the guys that brought you Steptoe & Son!
Tommy Cooper, one of the greatest ever comedians, is back! Expertly performed by Phil Hoyles – the UK's Number One impersonator – he brings you all of the 'tom'-foolery, jokes, songs, laughs, magic, failed magic, and energy that the original funnyman presented all those years ago!
Renowned theatre magazine “The Stage” describes Phil's portrayal as “a carbon copy in look, voice and humour” and “as near to the genuine article as you can get”!
He's got the height, the laugh, and the Fez – all we need is you! Come along and join us for a trip down memory lane, a jolly good laugh, and an evening of belly-aching nostalgia.
This show is also being produced by Cattle Productions Ltd., who have a distinguished reputation in the revival and recreation of classic comedy, ensuring that these true icons are never forgotten.
