One of our most treasured entertainers Mick has been at the top of his game for over 40 years. Often referred to as “The bald guy with the long hair,” Mick first came to prominence in the 70’s on the iconic ITV show ‘The Comedians’.
In the 1980s, Mick co-hosted his own Saturday evening show on ITV The Funny Side along with Cheryl Baker and the late Mike Smith.
Thanks to shows such as Des O’Connor Tonight, he has appeared on TV every year since The Comedians.
Mick remains as relevant and funny today, he is one of the few comedians of his generation who has made the transition onto the alternative circuit, creating a younger fan base along the way. He also remains as busy as ever working all over the world. In October 2017, he realised one of his lifelong ambitions, performing to a packed house and receiving a standing ovation at one of the iconic Las Vegas venues as part of the ITV series ‘Last Laugh in Vegas’.
Mick has also landed several acting roles to include Ideal with Johnny Vegas, and Peter Kay’s Car Share. He has also made appearances on shows such as John Bishop’s Only Joking and Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford and They Think It’s All Over.
This will be a masterclass in stand-up comedy not to be missed.
Tickets for Mick’s show go on sale on Monday 10th June 2024 at 10am. Tickets are £15.
Mick is the 12th big name to be announced for this year’s 17 day event which will be held for a fourth year in a luxury heated and seated marquee courtesy of Elite Marquees at Victoria Park in Southport from 27th September to Sunday 13th October 2024.
Mick joins an already stellar line-up at this year’s festival to include the undisputed godfather of modern stand-Up Ben Elton, Persian Comedy Powerhouse Omid Djalili, German comedy ambassador Henning Wehn, Festival favourites Jason Byrne, Jimeoin, Godfather of political comedy Mark Thomas and Star of ITV’S The Chase Paul Sinha ‘The Sinnerman’, comedy stars of TV Jo Caulfield, Hal Cruttenden, Ria Lina and host of smash hit podcast ‘Have a Word’, Dan Nightingale.
