Jimmy has lost none of his talent or energy and his theatre shows are as hilarious as ever, winning him new fans wherever he performs. Jimmy remains one of the few completely family-friendly comedians’ currently on tour and has great pride in being regaled as having a truly clean act.

Bridlington Spa has also added a Picturehouse screening on Saturday afternoons showing films suitable for the whole family and will kick start the screenings on September 5 with the first instalment of the blockbuster Marvel Avengers films.

Bridlington Spa General Manager Mark Lonsdale says “Our first Comeback Cabaret event on Saturday August 29 proved to be hugely popular with our audience and showed that the appetite is out there for the return of live entertainment in a Covid-secure way. We have programmed additional cabaret evenings into our plans for September and beyond.

As the premier entertainment venue on the Yorkshire coast, I’m delighted we are able to see the return of live indoor performances, providing entertainment to local residents and holidaymakers alike and to support the local economy.”
