Lives of Brian
FRESH from his starring role in the sell-out tour of Hairspray, Brian Conley is returning to the stage – and Blackpool – this autumn on a new UK Tour to showcase the best of sketches from his television series, The Brian Conley Show.
Supported by a full cast of singers and dancers, The Best of Brian Conley features all the greatest creations of the TV funny-man's repertoire.
Combining a first-rate mix of comedy, dancing and singing, the show provides Brian with the platform to share his roots in theatre with audiences across the UK.
With special guests including; dare-devil Dangerous Brian, Larry the Loafer, Nick Frisbee and the legendary Al Jolson all set to make an appearance, the stage is set for what promises to be an instant hit with his fans from over the years.
Brian will be joined by West End, Phantom of the Opera performers Sam Hiller and Emma Edwards, and Britain's Got Talent comedy ventriloquist semi-finalist Gareth Oliver, along with a team of dancers.
Successes on stage and screen have cemented Brian as one of UK's favourite entertainers.
His lead performance in the musical Jolson in 1995 won him accolades from critics, public and fellow artistes including Bob Hope, who, after seeing the show, told Brian, 'Son - you've got it all'.
During the run he was visited by, amongst others, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Peter O'Toole and Shirley Bassey – and Jolson finished up winning the prestigious Olivier Award for Best Musical. In Summer 2008 Brian went on to play the lead character in the Chichester Theatre's production of The Music Man and recently starred in the West End show and UK Tour of Hairspray.
In a career that has spanned more than 20 years Brian has had numerous shows on ITV including The Brian Conley Show, Time After Time, Brian Conley – Alive and Dangerous and The Grimley's', all achieving audiences in excess of 12 million.
The Best of Brian Conley is touring UK theatres and will be performing at Blackpool Opera House, Blackpool, on Sunday, September 12. To book tickets contact the box office on (01253) 290190.
