 |
Between 2014 and 2017 for over 50 performances Gareth Jones appeared as Miff Ferrie alongside West-End star Daniel Taylor's stunningly convincing performance as Tommy, and the breathtaking Sharon Byatt as Tommy's wife Gwen Henty in The Tommy Coooper Show, a touring stage production of the story of Britain's greatest comedian and magician. The show toured the length and breadth of the UK and packed out houses in Liverpool and north Wales over several Christmas periods.

REVIEWS
Read this glowing review of the show from The British Theatre Guide.
'The true impact of The Tommy Cooper Show is best gauged by the ovation of an audience who have spent the duration of the show utterly entranced by this portrayal and laughing along as if the great man was actually present in the room with us.'
Dave Jennings, British Theatre Guide - January 2015
'A must see show, a show that in time will probably become the definitive account of the Comic Magician, Tommy Cooper’s, life.'
Owen Lewis, Love Shrewsbury - January 2015
This is no mere impersonation. Taylor has nailed Cooper. He has brought him back to life’
Paul Levy, Fringe Review Edinburgh 2014
‘Daniel Taylor’s evocation of the great man is spot on’
Liverpool Echo
‘Extremely Funny....A tour de force'
Chris Bleach Chairman, The Tommy Cooper Society
'Last night we saw The Tommy Cooper Show at the Eastbourne Hippodrome and were blown away by Daniel Taylor's endearing portrayal which perfectly captures Tommy's comic charm and vulnerability. Packed with all the jokes and tricks, this production is cleverly shaped to highlight key moments of Tommy's life with fantastic performances by Sharon Byatt and Gareth Jones. A very special and hugely entertaining must-see show.'
