Jimmy Tarbuck: “Laughter is the only drug I’ve ever needed” COMEDY LEGEND CELEBTRATES 85TH BIRTHDAY WITH UK TOUR THE LONGEST RUNNING CAREER IN SHOWBIZ: 67 YEARS AND COUNTING Tickets, dates and info: www.jimmytarbuck.com JIMMY TARBUCK OBE, one of the most popular household names from the golden era of British stand up, will be celebrating his 85th birthday – and an astonishing 67 years in showbusiness. ‘An Evening with Jimmy Tarbuck’ will see the acclaimed comedian and raconteur reflecting on a remarkable life in showbusiness, the seeds of which were sown in childhood where he was classmates – and good mates – with John Lennon. Jimmy returned to the stage last year with a run of 14 sold out nights at the London Palladium opening for Barry Manilow, as well as his own UK tour. Now, the 85-year-old entertainer, who boasts The Longest Running Career in Showbiz, is excited to be back on the road performing in some of his favourite towns and venues in the UK. Jimmy said: “We’re going to have laughter; songs and I’m going to talk about my career in showbusiness. I’m going to tell you about the people I’ve met: Sinatra, Elvis, Cilla Black, Tom Jones, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope. The shows with Barry Manilow at the London Palladium last year were fantastic – what a performer he is. But now I am really looking forward to visiting the towns and cities where I learned my craft and built my fanbase. The crowds are always on great form and always ready to laugh.
