JUST Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show is coming to the Cotswold Playhouse on Thursday, March 30.

Direct from sell-out successes at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a sixteen-week residency at The Museum and a guest-appearance on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, Just Like That! is a wonderful homage to one of the UK’s best-loved comedians of all time and is written and starred in by John Hewer.

Commemorating over 30 years since his passing, this all-encapsulating show of magic, music and mirth is the perfect celebration of Tommy Cooper and features all of his classic gags combined with lesser-known gems lovingly selected from his joke archive and extensive magic routines.

John Hewer said: "People can expect two hours of solid family entertainment - music, magic and, of course, plenty of Tommy's signature buffoonery. 

“For hardcore Cooper fans and lovers of comedy alike, the show is a must as we delve into his vast catalogue of material and come up with some hidden gems as well as his sure-fire hits.

“Tommy was a comic genius, a true icon of the 20th century, and it's an honour to be bringing his timeless sense of mischief to old and new audiences."

The show has been created by arrangement with The Tommy Cooper Estate and boasts the support of Tommy’s daughter, Vicky, who said: “It’s an incredible honour that my father is being remembered 30 years on through the spirit of this wonderful production.

“If he was floating around here today he would have loved the fact that he was still bringing laughter into people’s lives.”

  • Just Like That! is at the Cotswold Playhouse in Stroud on Thursday, March 30 from 7.30pm. For more information and to purchase tickets visit cotswoldplayhouse.co.uk
