International Artists Sports Management present
Jimmy Tarbuck OBE
This Is My
Life
Whitley Bay Playhouse
Tuesday 21st November 2017
Join
stage funnyman Jimmy Tarbuck OBE as
he delivers a fantastically funny evening of comedy at the Playhouse Whitley Bay on Tuesday 21st November
2017.
Tarby, as he is known to millions of
TV viewers, is one of the country’s most evergreen performers and a master of
light entertainment.
Having successfully spent more than
40 years in the notoriously fickle world of showbusiness, Jimmy Tarbuck has
hosted numerous television shows, variety shows, chat shows and game shows and
his cheeky grin and boy-next-door charms have won him fans far away from his
native Liverpool.
However, Tarby is at his best in
front of a live audience and during his date in (town) he will be sharing
anecdotes, demonstrating his quickfire wit and thoroughly entertaining the
audience in a show which promises comedy for grown-ups rather than adult
comedy.
During the entertaining evening,
Tarby will be using photos and video footage to take audiences on a nostalgic
trip down memory lane with a wealth of hugely funny stories and anecdotes
ranging from being at school and in the same class as John Lennon to playing
golf with Bing Crosby.
The Liverpool born comic and
entertainer was spotted by the late Val Parnell while working as a Butlins
Redcoat, and made his TV debut aged 22 on Comedy
Bandbox. Soon afterwards he made several guest appearances on Sunday Night Live At The London Palladium for Val Parnell until he became the resident compere in
September 1965, aged just 25 years old.
After this fabulous start to his
career, Jimmy was soon in great demand headlining top variety shows, and soon
his own TV series’ followed. During the 1970s and 80s, Tarby was rarely off the
screen as programmes such as The Jimmy
Tarbuck Show, Winner Takes All, Tarby And Friends and the Live From … series attracted millions of
TV viewers each week.
Following the decline of variety on
television, Jimmy is in much demand as one of Britain’s top cabaret artistes
and after-dinner speakers, and he regularly hosts many of the top award and
business events. He is also a popular TV guest and when he is not entertaining
his corporate, television and theatre audiences can be found on the golf course
or supporting his beloved Liverpool Football Club.
During his illustrious career, Jimmy
Tarbuck has achieved many awards as both an entertainer and a charity
fundraiser. He has received the top Variety Club of Great Britain award of
Showbusiness Personality of the Year and he has been made an Officer of the
Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem for his charity
work. He has also been honoured by an hour-long special of This Is Your Life and in 1994, was awarded the OBE for his services
to showbusiness and charity. Jimmy is also President of Diabetes UK.
