Just like that!
It is almost 26 years since the late, great Tommy Cooper died on stage at Her Majesty's Theatre in London's West End and now, Clive Mantle (star of Casualty, Holby City and The Vicar of Dibley) will be re-creating the iconic entertainer at Blackpool Grand Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, March 29 and 30.
Jus' Like That! - A Night Out With Tommy Cooper brings the eccentric funnyman back to life with all the familiar trademarks – the fez, the laugh and the magic.
Clive Mantle was born to play Tommy Cooper – a devout fan of the gangling funny man, he too is 6'4" and has size 13 feet!
One of the nation's most beloved natural clowns, Tommy Cooper was one of the few entertainers who truly deserved the title 'comic genius'. His unique, eccentric, deceptively simple humour brought magic into British comedy.
Jus' Like That! - A Night Out With Tommy Cooper is written by John Fisher – who has compiled the acclaimed Tommy Cooper Joke Book – and directed by Patrick Ryecart.
Clive has also been working with Geoffrey Durham (aka The Great Soprendo) on perfecting all of Tommy's magic tricks. Before your very eyes you will see pigeons appear, bottles disappear and hear all the jokes that Tommy made famous.
Whether you are a Cooper afficionado or not, this exceptional evening of good old-fashioned variety celebrates the life of one of Britain's favourite comedians in a show which will appeal to everyone.
All seats 17.50 (children 8.50), concessions available. Book your seats now by calling the Grand Theatre box office on (01253) 290190, online at www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk or at the Grand Theatre information sales point in the Houndshill Shopping Centre.
