BILLY Pearce is making a welcome return to Scarborough Spa this summer with his family friendly ‘Billy Pearce Laughter Show’.

After a successful 2015 season the Yorkshire comic will dazzle audiences once more at the sea-side venue, with Billy bringing new gags, skits and musical performances alongside his all singing all dancing cast.

As an award-winning comedian Billy is no stranger to the stage. At the age of six he starred in The King and I at the Empire in Leeds, and it seems he never looked back. Hailing from Leeds, Billy first came to National prominence when he became a finalist in the TV talent show New Faces. His personality and fast paced jokes soon became a hit, and Billy quickly got snapped up for various stage and TV appearances including BBC’s You Gotta Be Joking.

During the mid 80’s to early 90’s Billy starred in a whole host of shows including Tonight at the London Palladium, The Royal Variety Performance and The Children’s Royal Variety Performance. He’s also a fine actor, starring in popular shows such as Heartbeat and the award winning The Street.

Jo Ager, General Manager of The Spa said: “We’re delighted to have Billy back for the 2016 summer season. He was such a big hit in last year’s programming, with great reviews and guest feedback.

“This is sure to be another great season at The Spa, and we look forward to working with Billy and the team at Tony Peers Productions over the coming months.”

The Billy Pearce Laughter Show runs in The Spa’s Theatre throughout the summer from May 23 – September 21, with performances on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 8pm.

Tickets are now on sale, priced at £15 with one child free per paying adult. Tickets are available from The Spa’s Box Office 01723 821888 and via www.scarboroughspa.co.uk
