Being Tommy Cooper, a new play by Tom Green starring Damian Williams as the celebrated comedian, will be coming to the Grand Theatre in Blackpool on June 2.
It’s set in Las Vegas in 1954. In a small hotel room, the up-and-coming Cooper faces the prospect of his first big failure. With the show closing and a warring relationship with his manager, Tommy finds an offer on the table and a drink in his hand.
Painfully funny and true, Tom Green's play celebrates the brilliance in Britain's most famous comic and explores the pressures and loneliness of fame.
The man who could make you laugh just by walking on to stage comes alive in this confrontational play.
