A show celebrating the magic and mayhem of one of Britain's best-loved comedians is coming to Romford.

The Very Best of Tommy Cooper – Just like that! is a one-man show that honours the life and legacy of the comedy icon, more than 30 years after his death.

Directed by West End star Daniel Taylor, the production promises an evening of nostalgia, laughter and classic misfiring magic.

Danny, who performs in the show, said: "Tommy was given that wonderful and rare gift to make people laugh, often by simply standing there.

"His most-loved routines draw on an innocent sense of humour that appeals to all ages and still stands the test of time."
