TOMMY Cannon is set to make an appearance at the Thameside Theatre next month.

The comedian is joining the cast of comedy drama Seriously Dead, which also stars Billy Pearce and Chrissy Rock.

Tommy – who plays Albert Blunderstone – will make his appearance at the Thameside Theatre, Orsett Road, Grays on Tuesday May 8, with the show getting underway at 7.30pm.

Seriously Dead is touring the country over a number of months and Tommy, who made up half of the comedy double act Cannon and Ball, is looking forward to the challenge.

Tommy, 79, said: “It’s all very different from the act that Bobby and I do, which is structured but also fairly free-wheeling.

“I’ll have a crack at anything, as long as the offers keep on coming.”

Tickets are priced at £22 and can be bought by calling the box office on 0345 300 5264.

Alternatively, you can also book tickets at thurrock.gov.uk/theatre or in person at the Thameside Complex on Saturdays from 10am-1pm.
