The special show celebrating Jimmy Cricket’s forthcoming 80th birthday is approaching a sell-out.
Only about 50 tickets remain for the big charity gala at The Lowry in Salford later this year.
Tim Vine, Roy Walker, Barbara Nice, Syd Little and Steve Royle are among the entertainers performing on 1 November.
Fellow Northern Irish funnyman Adrian Walsh and Jimmy’s daughter, Katie Mulgrew, complete the talented line-up – as well as the birthday boy himself, of course!
Jimmy said: “The Lowry is a lovely venue down by the Quays.
“I’m no stranger to the place, having performed there twice previously.
“I did a double header with Mick Miller and appeared as part of a podcast event with Richard Herring.
“Also, I went to watch Tim Vine there a few years ago – Tim will be doing a spot for us at my birthday show.
“It will be a happy birthday family event with some great acts thrown in – and a fire extinguisher to blow out the candles on the cake!”

Professional care
Sister Aloysius and Fr Thomas Mulheran set up the Rainbow Family Trust in the early 1990s as a charity.
They were concerned about the lack of palliative care for the families of children with a short-life expectancy.
The late Diana, Princess of Wales, officially opened the seven-bedroom Francis House in November 1991.
