JOE PASQUALE
Joe Pasquale has been cracking up audiences for four decades and now, in his show The New Normal: 40 Years of Cack, he’s dragging out his ponderings for another airing to prove that nothing has ever really been normal! If you have ever asked yourself questions such as, can a vegetarian get a job as a Beefeater? If an Eskimo has a house-warming party, will his igloo melt? If a nudist spilt beetroot soup in his lap, would he have a stain on his character? And why don’t chicken breasts have nipples? Then this is the show for you! And the best bit? There's a Q&A at the end, so if you have any more burning questions, you can put them to Joe then.
PAUL ZERDIN
Expect hilarity and jaw-dropping entertainment from super-talented ventriloquist, Paul Zerdin, who will be keeping his jaw firmly shut, whilst he brings a whole host of characters to life with his incredible vocal skills! In this show, you'll meet Sam, the cocky teenager; Albert, the 96-year-old with a razor-sharp wit; and the Baby, who believes the world revolves around him! Adding to the motley crew are Paul’s dim-witted American bodyguard, Roger and an outrageous Urban Fox. Paul, who has appeared in shows such as America’s Got Talent - The Champions and Britain’s Got Talent - The Champions, is a class act. You won't be able to believe your eyes – or your ears!‘
BOBBY DAVRO
The incorrigible Bobby Davro will be at Butlin's in 2025 proving 'Everything is Funny if you Can Laugh at It' with his show of the same name. Bobby rose to fame in the mid-80s as a stand-up and impressionist and has been having audiences in stitches ever since with his impeccable comedic timing and perfectly honed gags. In this show – which was a sell-out at Edinburgh Fringe Festival – he'll also be proving that old school is often the best!
BASIL BRUSH LIVE & UNLEASHED
Join us, as the most famous fox in the world, mister Basil Brush is ‘Live and Unleashed’ in this hour-long comedy show especially for adults. Co-hosted by his right-hand man, Mr.Martin, (Martin Cabble-Reid) expect some lively views from Basil as he gives his 'topical news review', plus plenty of foxy fun with chit-chat, hilarious sketches, gameshow antics and a Q&A where you will have the chance to fox Basil with your own questions! Still bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after more than 60 years in the entertainment industry, this is a rare chance to see a true national treasure at the peak of his powers. Boom, Boom!
