Just Like That

Tommy Cooper was a true comic genius. His impeccable timing, misfiring magic, trademark fez and quick-fire gags made him an international star and a true icon of the 20th Century. Now, 30 years since his untimely passing, the appetite for his surreal slapstick, classic routines and snappy one-liners, continues to be re-discovered by old and new fans alike.

Just Like That! embarks on a new nationwide tour after sell-out successes at the West End's Museum of Comedy.

This all-encapsulating show features John Hewer (Tony Hancock, Hancock's Half Hour - The 'Lost' Episodes) giving "a perfect illusion of time travel" (The Lost Review) and delivering "nuances both obvious and subtle" (TmeOut) as the man in the fez.

The show, first produced in 2014 to mark 30 years since the comedian’s untimely passing, has enjoyed enormous success nationwide and features classic favourites such as “spoon-jar”, “bottle-glass” and the hilarious “Hats” routine, combined with hidden gems and bumbling magic from Cooper’s extensive back catalogue.

John Hewer captures the Cooper style, from the mumbled speech and loud laughter to the awkward giant-body language (The Stage) as he brings Cooper back to life in this family-friendly show that’s a must for all generations of knockabout comedy.
