Golden memories: Summer season with Cilla Black
Jimmy Cricket has appeared with many great fellow entertainers in 50 years of showbusiness – including Cilla Black.
The lovable Northern Irish comedian, now 74, was recently made aware of a poster promoting a summer season at the Royalty Theatre in Great Yarmouth in the early 80s.
Anthony Stubbins, a good friend of Jimmy, put the poster (above right) on social media.
Also appearing that year was the legendary Cilla Black OBE.
Cilla was one of Britain’s most successful and best-loved entertainers of all time.
She was a singer, comedian and actress, having two number one hits and presenting several iconic British TV shows.
There was a fair bit of reaction to the poster on social media.
What an amazing poster…. brilliant Jimmy. Ah, what memories…
Hope your well my friend, take care.. Good luck with your upcoming shows.
Great times !!!

I’m guessing 1983?
