An evening with Jimmy Tarbuck

JIMMY TARBUCK OBE, one of the most popular household names from the golden era of British stand up, is back with a bang: The much-loved entertainer is on tour through the spring and summer 2026 with his solo show ‘An Evening with Jimmy Tarbuck’ which stops off at some of his favourite towns and venues in the UK. And he can’t wait. Jimmy says: “It’s been great, and I love getting on stage, where I belong. 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. And laughter is the only drug I’ve ever needed!” ‘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. Jimmy will present a hugely entertaining mix of anecdotes and jokes, including recollections of his many years presenting Sunday Night at the London Palladium which shot him to fame in 1963. There will also be stories from Jimmy’s childhood, growing up in Liverpool where he was classmates – and good mates – with John Lennon.
