31 May 2012 at Palace Theatre

Tarby, as he is known to millions of TV viewers, is one of the country’s most evergreen performers and a master of light entertainment.

Having successfully spent more than 40 years in the notoriously fickle world of show business, Jimmy Tarbuck has hosted numerous television shows, variety shows, chat shows and game shows and his cheeky grin and boy-next-door charms have won him fans far away from his native Liverpool.

However, Tarby is at his best in front of a live audience and during his date in Redditch he will be sharing anecdotes, demonstrating his quick fire wit and thoroughly entertaining the audience in a show which promises comedy for grown-ups rather than adult comedy.
