BWW Reviews: ERIC AND LITTLE ERN, St James Theatre, December 17 2014
by Laura Jones - Dec 18, 2014

One of my earliest memories is sitting on my grandfather's lap watching Morecambe and Wise on one of his VHS tapes and quickly his favourite comedians became my favourite comedians, and they still are to this day. I'm a fan of modern comics such as Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre, but not even these modern day comedians can knock Morecambe and Wise off the top spot for me. Eric and Little Ern is now playing at the St James Theatre, following a successful nationwide tour. Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpital as Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise respectively, are able to bring back the magic of the double act which makes for a night of nostalgia and hilarious comedy.
