Tomlinson Versus Boardman

Liverpool’s St George’s Hall is staging an evening of entertainment in their historic Civil Courtrooms, where ticket holders become the jury on a personal Civil Court Case between two of Merseyside’s top comedians.

Civil Court Case No. 45 The Trial of Tomlinson Versus Boardman will take place over three nights from March 13-15.

Ricky Tomlinson and Stan Boardman have been neighbours for 30 years and also good friends, until Ricky went on holiday and asked Stan to look after his dog. Ricky gave Stan £60 for dog food and says Stan never fed his dog.

The trial also stars female comedian Crissy Rock as Boardman’s sister, John Gorman from Tiswas/Scaffold fame as The Judge, BBC Radio Merseyside’s Billy Butler and his wife Lesley Butler, Johnny Kennedy, Saul Murphy plus a supporting cast.
