Experience a night of pure comedy gold and nostalgia as the legendary Tommy Cannon takes the stage at the Whittingham and Goosnargh Sports and Social Club. Known to millions as the "straight man" of the iconic duo Cannon and Ball, Tommy has been a staple of British prime-time television for over four decades. This upcoming variety show, titled "Rock On, Tommy," is a heartfelt and hilarious tribute to a lifetime in show business.

Attendees can look forward to a multi-faceted performance featuring: Never-before-seen clips: A journey through the archives of their most famous TV moments. Incredible Stories: Tommy shares personal anecdotes from his journey—from the talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1968 to his recent interactions with global stars like Robbie Williams. Audience Q&A: A rare opportunity for fans to ask the national treasure their own questions about his storied career. Variety Performance: A mix of stand-up comedy, musical numbers, and the classic banter that defined an era of British entertainment. The Whittingham and Goosnargh Sports and Social Club provides the perfect intimate setting for this event.
