Jimmy Cricket took part in the first of Andy Ford’s Sunday variety shows on Facebook.
The Northern Irish funnyman was among a host of entertainers who performed.
He mimed The Yellow Rose of Texas, which prompted a lot of positive comments on social media (see below).
Among the other acts were ventriloquist Steve Hewlett and magician/comedian Mark James.
The show is the brainwave of comedian Andy Ford, who introduced Jimmy as a “comedy legend”.
He posted the full show on Facebook and it attracted more than 3,000 views.
In addition, 280 comments were posted.
He said: “Just under 50,000 people watched my live stand up comedy shows on Sunday Nights on Facebook!!
“Well now I’m back…. every Sunday night… same time same place with an online Variety Show.
“Join me at 8.30pm for great entertainment with a host of stars performing direct to you!!”
‘Terrific. Brilliant. What timing!!’
