Phil Hoyles, described as the UK's top impersonator, will bring the legendary Tommy Cooper back to the stage in a new production at Nottingham Arts Theatre, with all proceeds supporting Blood Bikes volunteer riders.
A night of classic comedy and magic
The energetic live show promises an evening of classic jokes, songs, and famous magic routines, capturing the exact voice, look, and unique physical humour of the iconic comedian. Theatre critics have praised the performance for its authenticity, recreating the beloved entertainer's stage presence for modern audiences.
The production is staged by Cattle Productions Ltd, a company known for recreating classic British comedy icons. This special performance is part of their ongoing work to keep these characters alive for new generations.
Charity support for Blood Bikes
All proceeds raised from the performance will go directly to help Blood Bikes volunteer riders deliver vital medical supplies across the region. The charity relies on volunteers to transport blood, plasma, and other medical essentials, often at night and in emergencies, ensuring hospitals and patients receive critical supplies when needed.
By attending the show, audience members will directly contribute to this life-saving service, helping volunteers cover fuel and maintenance costs for their motorcycles.
