Due to popular demand, comedy legends Jasper Carrott and Alistair McGowan are joining forces to split the bill, and your sides, with two nights of comedy stand-up and impressions at The McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 November, 7.30pm.
Drawing on their wealth of experience the two masters of comedy present a show of pure laughter and entertainment that is not to be missed.
The pair first teamed up last year for a one-off festival appearance, and it proved a match made in comedy heaven. Splitting the evening between them, the mix of Jasper’s inimitable stand-up and Alistair’s peerless impressions is a terrific experience for the audience and the artists alike.
Jasper took a break from live performance after a 40 year career that has taken him around the globe and seen him showered with awards including the prestigious BBC TV Personality of the Year and the British Comedy Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2003 Jasper was awarded an OBE in Her Majesty’s New Year’s Honours List, in recognition of his outstanding work for charity.
He’s back now for what may be his final live shows, and thrilled to be working with Alistair. Jasper said,
“After last year we both wanted to do more together. For me the chance to work with such an accomplished performer as Alistair is a dream come true. Just past my 70th year, this might be my last series of shows. It means I can go out on a high in the best comedy company.”
The first show, Tuesday 15 November has nearly sold out, so don’t miss this chance to see the godfather of British comedy Jasper Carrott and Britain’s leading comedy impressionist at the top of their game, having a blast and delighting audiences in their unique ways. Tickets cost £25 and can be purchased from www.mcmillantheatre.com, or the Box Office, in person, or by phone, Monday – Friday, 10am – 2pm, Bath Road, Bridgwater, 01278 556677.
