THE laugh-a-minute extravaganza, Just Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show visits Whitby Pavilion on Saturday, as part of a nationwide tour.
Direct from sell-out successes at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a 16-week residency at The Museum of Comedy and a guest-appearance on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, Just Like That! is a wonderful homage to one of the UK’s best-loved comedians of all time and is embarking on a nationwide tour throughout 2016 and 2017.
Tommy Cooper was a true comic genius. His impeccable timing, love of slapstick and quick-fire gags made him an international star. Complete with his trademark fez and a plethora of misfiring magic, the man is an undisputed icon of live entertainment.
Commemorating more than 30 years since his passing, this all-encapsulating show of magic, music and mirth is the perfect celebration of Britain's top comedian and features all of Tommy’s classic gags combined with lesser-known gems lovingly selected from his joke archive and extensive magic routines.
The show also boasts the support of Tommy’s daughter, Vicky, who said: “It’s an incredible honour that my father is being remembered 30 years on through the spirit of this wonderful production. If Tommy were floating around here today he would have loved the fact that he was still bringing laughter into people’s lives.”
Tickets for Just Like That!: The Tommy Cooper Show are 12 and £10 for concessions and are available from The Pavilion’s Box Office on 01947 458899 and via whitbypavilion.co.uk
