Eyes & Teeth took place on 21 September in memory of Keith, who died in Blackpool aged 67 in 2015.
He was best known for his television show The Keith Harris Show (from 1982 to 1990) and for his appearances with his puppets Orville the Duck and Cuddles the Monkey.
Northern Irish comedian Jimmy had posted the following message (and photo below) on social media after the show: “What an achievement for @ventriloquist29 and lovely @nina_strobe who organised @VIVABlackpool “The Keith Harris Tribute Show” with great acts and legends such as @theBobbyCrush @TheKrankiesUK @steveroylecomic @sasKeithandBen Mooky, reminded me of the old days, Midnight Matinees.”
