Jimmy who is recognised worldwide as one of the masters of light entertainment, will take audiences back to the golden days of entertainment, when families would gather around the television to watch him host Sunday Night at The London Palladium, Live From Her Majesty’s and Tarby & Friends. These classic shows featured the very best in song, dance and comedy, performed by some of the greatest performers in the world. Now in 2018 Swing With Laughter recreates those magical shows and adds a modern flavour for audiences of today, who are enjoying the current revival in variety. Great talent is featured in abundance with Jimmy being joined on stage by singer, songwriter, comedian and entertainer Kenny Lynch, who will be performing his many hits including the Number One, million seller “Up on the Roof” and “Stand By Me”. “Carry On” star, singer, dancer and West End leading lady Anita Harris - who certainly knows about variety having appeared in seven Royal Command Performances will regale the audience with annecdotes from her amazing career while performing hits such as “Just Loving You” and “The Anniversary Waltz”. Fans of the eighties satire classic “Spitting Image” will certainly be aware of the multi- talented impressionist Jessica Martin. Having provided the voices of many popular characters, she went on to star in the hit ITV show “Copy Cats” and since then has demonstrated her vocal talents while starring in West End shows such as “Me and My Girl”. In this show she will also be performing her acclaimed tribute to Judy Garland, which she had the honour of performing at a Royal Command Performance.
