Enjoy one last seaside special with a trio of British comedy legends this August! Blackpool Grand Theatre is taking you back in time to enjoy the iconic wit, charm and chaos of Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Bob Monkhouse with the hilarious and heartfelt stage play The Last Laugh.
Three comedy giants. One dressing room. Endless laughter.
"Brilliant... If you love comedy, you will love this play" - BBC
"The best thing I have ever seen in a theatre" - Giles Coren
"Comedy heaven! Immaculate... Gags galore" - Daily Mail Get ready for a real ray of sunshine this August Bank Holiday week with THE LAST LAUGH – a hilarious new comedy drama at Blackpool Grand Theatre from Tuesday 26 August to Saturday 30 August that brings together comedy greats Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Bob Monkhouse as they share a dressing room before they perform one final time.
Liam Rudden looks back at the local legacy of these three titans of British comedy with a deep Blackpool connection…
Three comedians walk onto a stage. One sports imitation tortoise-shell Metzler glasses. One carries his joke book, a tome once described as ‘the Holy Grail of gag writing’. The third wears a red fez… and just like that, one of them is sure to have The Last Laugh. If that sounds like the start of a gag, then the chances are you’re familiar with these three giants of British comedy, Eric Morecambe, Bob Monkhouse and Tommy Cooper.
