Joe's show is hands on
ALL Hands on Deck brings legendary entertainer Joe Longthorne and friends to Blackpool's Grand Theatre.
Singers, comedians, musicians and impressionists will go overboard in a bid to raise thousands for local charities in a Grand bash with All Hands on Deck on Saturday 29th November.
Overseeing all the fun from aboard the SS Grand Theatre are Captain Joe Longthorne, First Officer Tony Jo, Ship's Cat Johnnie Casson and Chief Wren Pat Mancini.
Joe Longthorne's repertoire of voices is endless and includes hundreds of the world's top singers.
However, he is perhaps best known for his impersonations of Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey.
Joe began his career over three decades ago with appearances on Junior Showtime, followed by grounding on the tough Northern club circuit.
His big break came in 1981 when he was a finalist on London Weekend Television's Search for a Star – this led to appearances at the London Palladium with Bob Hope and The Talk of the Town.
During his career, Joe has also received gold and platinum discs for his albums, enjoyed sell-out concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and toured Australia several times.
Johnnie Casson began his showbiz career as drummer with The Cresters - one of the country's favourite comedy show groups who toured with The Beatles and appeared on many television shows such as Cliff Richard & Friends.
Joe and Johnnie will be joined by local comedian and impresario Tony Jo, well known local figure and fundraiser Pat Mancini and a whole host of talented artists for an evening to remember.
All Hands on Deck will raise vital funds in aid of the Anthony Nolan Trust, North West Air Ambulance, The Princess Alexandra Home for the Blind, Blackpool Victoria Hospital and others.
All Hands on Deck is at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool on Saturday 29th November at 7.30pm. Tickets from 12 are on sale now from the Grand Theatre Box Office.
