‘No better way to brighten up a terrible day weather-wise’

People braved the stormy weather to attend a special library event with famous funnyman Jimmy Cricket.

People braved Storm Bert to attend a special library event with famous funnyman Jimmy Cricket.

The Northern Irish entertainer was at Riverside in his adopted town of Rochdale for a book signing and Q&A on Saturday (23 November).

It was his second library appearance in the borough this year, having also entertained people at Heywood in September.

He posted on Facebook after Saturday’s event: “My thanks to #rochdalelibrary at Riverside and organisers #joanneeaves alongside Danny for their help, and for making us feel so welcome at the book signing this afternoon.

“Also great to see old friends in the audience #LawrenceCody with Anton and Liam!”

Lawrence replied: “It was great to see you Jimmy, and May of course (who took the pic for us), and to share some good chat after your gig over a brew.
“Couldn’t think of a better way to brighten up what was a terrible day weather-wise.
“It may have been raining outside, but there was plenty of sunshine inside.
“Thank you so much for the invite after the gig.”
Belfast-born comedian Jimmy published Memoirs Of An Irish Comedian – Come ‘Ere There’s More last year.
It tells the heart-warming story of his illustrious life and 50-year career as an entertainer.

In September, Rochdale Council invited him to give a talk at Heywood Library about the book.

And the afternoon went so well that they asked him to do another one on Saturday, this time in the town’s Central Library at Number One Riverside.

Vanish

In addition to performing some stand-up comedy and taking questions from the audience. Jimmy also signed copies of his autobiography for those who wanted to buy it.

The event, part of a series of talks organised by Rochdale Council entitled Meet the author, was free to attend.

In lieu of a fee, Jimmy requested that a small donation be made to the charity Mary’s Meals, though this was optional.
