Ernie Wise

Kathryn Hunter shines in this updated version of a classic exemplar of the Theatre of the Absurd

A festive version of the show, IAN ASHPITEL & JONTY STEPHENS as 'ERIC & ERN AT CHRISTMAS', will play Plymouth Theatre Royal on 27 November and a week-long season at The Lowry in Salford, 6 - 12 December.

Highly acclaimed for their uncanny portrayal of the legendary comedy duo, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, talented actors Ian Ashpitel and Jonty Stephens return to London's West End as Eric & Ern at The Duke of York Theatre on St Martin's Lane on 2nd and 9th February 2020.

The Messiah has charm and poignancy, but creaks under the weight of its 35 years, its brand of humour now dated by shows like The Play That Goes Wrong.

It's been a busy summer for actor Bryan Dick. As performances finish for one show, rehearsals get underway for another one...or rather two! A double bill for the Rose Theatre Kingston, Hogarth's Progress features The Art of Success and the world premiere of The Taste of the Town. Catching up on how rehearsals are going, Bryan shares his thoughts on tackling characters with real life counterparts, from William Hogarth to Ernie Wise.

If laughter is the best medicine then Storyhouse audiences can expect to enjoy a healthy Autumn that will tickle their ribs and tap them on the funnybone.

A brilliant homage to Britain's best-loved double act Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, evoking mirth and memories, is to tour the UK - including a visit to Storyhouse this Autumn.

Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpitel made a flying visit to Darlington Hippodrome today in the run-up to their live stage show An Evening of Eric and Ern, which is on Saturday 23 June.

With Autumn now upon us and Christmas fast approaching, The Bristol Hippodrome is delighted to confirm the full casting for this year's magical family pantomime Cinderella starring  national icons Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as the Fairy Godparents as previously announced.

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.
