Lancashire stars Harry Moulding, Mick Miller & Jon Culshaw to shine at the Royal Variety this weekend

The Royal Variety Performance returns to our screens this weekend and not one but three Lancashire stars are set to feature.

The annual event has been held every year since 1957, and this year’s show, filmed in late November, is finally airing on ITV1 at 7:05pm this Sunday (December 21).

Some huge stars are taking to the stage for both the British public and the Royal Family, with The Prince and Princess of Wales having the honour of attending this year.

Taking pride of place on the Royal Variety stage for 2025 is then Blackpool’s very own Harry Moulding.

The 24-year-old magician secured his place back in June after winning thr ITV talent show Britain’s Got Talent.

Poulton-le-Fylde based comedian Mick Miller - who has actually lived on the Fylde Coast for the past 25 years, also performed at the Royal Variety Performance this year.

Speaking to us about the event earlier this month, Mick said: “That was a great honour.... I enjoyed it and I did well so I'm looking forward to seeing how that comes out.

“I did it in 2011 but I was only a theatre act so that meant I was just on in-between, you know, while they got things ready.... Flash forward to now, the producer had seen me at a comedy club and she said ‘Would you do it again?’ So I jumped at the chance!”

Asked what William and Kate were like, Mick replied: “William was interested in the troop gigs I've done, and he was laughing. Then Kate just said she really enjoyed it and she was saying the children have started telling jokes now!”

A third Lancashire star is also taking to the stafe: Ormskirk impressionist, actor and comedian Jon Culshaw.

The former St Bede’s Catholic High School pupil will be performing alonside his castmates from Dead Ringers: Jan Ravens, Lewis Macleod and Duncan Wisbey.
