A TIMELESS comedy legend comes to Rotherham Civic Theatre tonightas Barry Cryer brings his new show—Still Alive With Colin Sell—to the Civic at 7.30pm.

An outstanding entertainer and undisputed king of the one liner, Barry promises a truly memorable evening of non-stop jokes, songs and laughter.

With a wealth of experience and anecdotes, Barry has enjoyed a long and varied career in the entertainment business, all of which he brings to this acclaimed new show.

Initially writing for comedy icon Danny La Rue, his exceptional work led him to write comedy sketches for popular television shows such as The Two Ronnies, The Frost Report and Morecambe and Wise.

Now in his 70s and with an OBE to his name, Barry is still going strong with his fantastic show full of side-splitting gags and stories.

He will be reeling off one joke after the next, with subjects varying from Tommy Cooper, Morecambe and Wise to Jasper Carrott and Rory Bremner, while recalling anecdotes about comedy greats such as Kenny Everett, Willie Rushton and Bob Monkhouse.

Audience participation is also a big part of the act, with fans being encouraged to shout out a page number from one of Barry’s books, then, amazingly, he will relate the story back!

Ever the all round entertainer, Barry will also be showing off his remarkable singing voice, performing his favourite songs with accomplished pianist Colin Sell.
