Award winning actress and comedy writer Lynne Fitzgerald bring audiences her new hilarious play, Show Us Your Tips, to the St.Helens Theatre Royal this month.
Set over one night in a Scouse Ale House and stars Liverpool’s finest comedian Mickey Finn playing Scotch-soaked landlord said, “How can you go wrong with Mickey Finn in your cast, he is hilarious.”
Mickey’s moaning groaning wife and landlady will be played by Irish singer and actress Clare Bowles, who adds, “I am thrilled to be working in another of Lynne’s plays as it’s always a hoot, although I am just over 4ft tall and the set bar is also 4ft so I’m struggling to see over the top of it.” She laughs, “Lynne assures me once I have my beehive wig on, all will be fine.”
Lynne, a regular at The Theatre Royal St. Helens along with actress and singer Charlie Griffiths will be doing what they do best, playing a multitude of characters, including dazed and confused barmaids Ashleigh and Jennifer and Runcorn newlyweds Derek and Vicky.
Incidental music will be played throughout the show courtesy of Liverpool’s quality funk and rock band The Hips.
Lynne adds, “Think Cheers with more beers, this is a hilarious slice of Liverpool pub life that will have you rolling in the aisles, laughing. A real feel good comedy not to be missed.”
Show Us Your Tips runs from Wednesday 17th September until Saturday 20th September at 7.30pm with a 2.00pm Saturday matinee.
Tickets for Show Us Your Tips start at £10 and are available to purchase from the Theatre Royal Box office, by telephone on 01744 756000 or online at www.sthelenstheatreroyal.com.
