Fringe Q&A: What are you putting in your suitcase?
A hazmat suit, a horse's head, a Mr Miyagi doll, five kilos of dried super-long spaghetti, and Immodium - just some of the things that comedians are putting in their suitcases ahead of getting on planes and trains bound for the Edinburgh Festival.
British Comedy Guide, 26th July 2018How to pay tribute to Tommy Cooper... seemingly 'Jus'-Like-That!'
John Hewer - who will be performing as Tommy Cooper in a tribute show at this year's Edinburgh Fringe - explains how he became interested in the comedian, and why it's sad there's no full record of Cooper's ever-evolving stage act.
British Comedy Guide, 23rd July 2018More details
Tommy Cooper was a true comic genius. His impeccable timing, misfiring magic, trademark fez and quick-fire gags made him an international star.
This all-encapsulating show features John Hewer giving "a remarkably faithful performance" (Time Out) as he "captures the Cooper style, from mumbled speech and loud laughter to the awkward giant body language" (The Stage) and delivering "nuances both obvious and subtle" (Everything Theatre) as the man in the fez.
Complete with live musical accompaniment, this critically acclaimed tribute is full of magic and mirth and is the perfect celebration of Britain's favourite comedian.
