JIMMY CRICKET - A Star for the family
Jimmy
developed his character in the Northern Clubs. TV producers began to take note of this
refreshing comic with the hilarious Irish logic. Jimmy reached the second finals of
Search for a Star and then appeared before HRH The Princess Margaret on the
next night live for ITVs Royal Gala Show A Night of Hundred Stars from
the National Theatre. This really set the ball rolling for him. Jimmy has made regular guest spots on television and radio, culminating in his own TV series for Central Television and his owin radio series for BBC Radio Two. However even after four TV series Jimmy is still honing and fine tuning his live act, continually adding new and fresh material. In live performances word and mouth is everything and when people see his name outside a theatre they know they can bring not only their children, but their aunts and granddads, confident in the knowledge their going to see a first class show. |
