Ep 441 – A Comedy Legend Turns 80 – Come Closer, it’s Jimmy Cricket

Join us for an unmissable look inside a magical night at The Lowry Theatre, where beloved comedian Jimmy Cricket celebrated his 80th birthday in true showbiz style!

We have interviews with comedy greats Tim Vine, Roy Walker, Sid Little, and Jimmy’s own son, Fr Frankie Mulgrew — now a Catholic priest — as they share stories, laugh-out-loud memories, and tributes to a man who has brought joy to generations.

This special event wasn’t just a party, as all money raised supports Francis House Children’s Hospice, helping them continue their incredible work for children and families in need.
