The young stand-up comedians of today could learn plenty from famous comic Jimmy Cricket.
That’s the view of musician Andy Eastwood, who is hosting a midday variety event in Coventry, which Jimmy is headlining.
Jimmy Cricket’s Big Show takes place at the Belgrade Theatre on Thursday 29 February (1.30pm start).
Organisers promise a “heart-warming afternoon of comedy, songs, music and fun”.
A spokesperson for the theatre said tickets were selling fast.
The Coventry Observer published an article about the event.
It said: “The fun-filled show heralds a new season of Midday Variety, which has become very popular at the Belgrade Theatre over the past decade.”
Andy Eastwood is quoted in the piece as saying: “To have Jimmy Cricket with us is a real treat as he’s one of the great, old-school comics.
“Comedy trends have come and gone, but Jimmy has stayed true to his style: warm, friendly and funny without ever an insult.
“Today’s young stand-ups could learn a lot from him!”
Joining Jimmy and Andy on stage are the multi-talented virtuoso Gordon Cree, the stunning mezzo-soprano voice of Cheryl Forbes and Kearra Bethany, with her flawless tribute to the legendary Barbra Streisand.
