Comedy at the Lowther Pavilion NEWS
A summary of top name comedians appearing at the Lowther Pavilion Theatre.
Following Jason Manfords appearance at the Pavilion Theatre last summer The Lowther Pavilion is proud to host a season of top name comedians.
Jason Manford sold out in less than three hours which shows that there is a large comedy audience in the Pavilion. Which we are keen to build on.
Steve Canavan Blackpool Gazette reviewed the Jason Manford show and Jason quoted: (http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/what-s-on/theatre-comedy/jason-manford-review-lowther-pavilion-lytham-1-5749510)
This is my first time in Lytham - its bloody nice isnt it, he says.
You probably dont have Pound Shops; theyre probably One Pound Fifty shops.
Manford clearly took a liking to the place, for as soon as this show was over Jason hot-footed it to Lytham Cricket Club and did an impromptu set at Phil Walkers comedy club (Woofers, held on the first Thursday of each month).
These are our confirmed comedians with more in the pipeline awaiting confirmation. So watch this space:

Roy Chubby Brown 27th June 7.30pm Adults 19 Concessions 18
If easily offended please stay away!
Middlesbrough born Roy Chubby Brown and as well as a comedian is a writer and actor known for U.F.O, Roy Chubby Brown, Thunder B*!!*cks and Roy Chubby Brown: Clitoris Allsorts live at Blackpool.
Roy Chubby Brown is back with his meatiest show yet Who Ate all The Pies
Hes still rude, hes still crude and this time hes turning headlines into punch lines as his rip-roaring brand of banter continues to burst bellies across the country. Chubby doesn't hold back from sharing his outlandish views on news, women and gender, sailing so close to the mark, even the most seasoned of fans will be left gob-smacked!
As politically incorrect as ever The Worlds Most Outrageous Comedian is far too rude for TV, so this live performance is the only place to catch the flamboyant comedian!
