Tam Ryan and John Thomson in The Easter Funny Show at the Opera House, Manchester

Comedy, adventure and slapstick combine in an Easter family show created by and starring Opera House pantomime favourite funny-man Tam Ryan and actor and comedian John Thomson.

The Easter Funny Show will see Tam and John bring the fun of a festive panto to the Easter holidays with a new interactive family show.

Appearing in the show alongside Tam and John will be comedy juggler Steve Royle, Key 103 Breakfast Show host Mike Toolan (himself a former two-time Opera House panto star), UV puppeteer Russ Brown plus a mystery guest from Britain’s Got Talent.

Lancashire-based comedian, actor and singer Ryan now considers Manchester his second home after starring in the Opera House’s pantomime for the past four years—winning rave reviews and a loyal fan following.

While best remembered for the role of Pete Gifford in the multi-award winning Cold Feet, comedian and actor John Thomson has enjoyed a career in comedy, film, television, theatre and radio spanning two decades.

The show is at the Opera House in Manchester April 11-12.
