Jimmy Cricket returned to The Plaza variety theatre in Stockport at the weekend to do his fourth show there.

Other acts included Shep’s Banjo Duo and dancers from the Stockport-based Debut Arts academy.

The famous comedian, 72, had last performed there in January 2016 and was clearly delighted to be back.

Afterwards he tweeted: “Wonderful Sunday afternoon performing alongside Howard and Steve, Shep’s Banjo Duo, Debut Arts Academy, with Ted Doan Manager and actor who took the lead in the, “The 3 Tenner Sketch”, my thanks goes to Stage, Sound and Lighting, Lawerence, Ben and Pam.”

A poster (right) promoting the tour says the shows feature “a full supporting cast and wonderful live band with songs to get you singing along and comedy to leave you rolling in the aisles”.

The first leg included venues such as the Swansea Grand Theatre, Shrewsbury Theatre Severn, and Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre to name a few.

And the autumn leg has dates at the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall, Harlow Playhouse and the Crewe Lyceum Theatre, among others.

A full list of dates and details for each show can be found within the tour dates section of this website.

The show is produced by Mark Andrews Productions. Mark Andrews is a versatile performer, singing and acting as well as producing, and is developing an excellent reputation for his Music Hall touring shows.
