A household name for five decades Jasper Carrott is back on tour and coming to Eastbourne

“Laughter is the best medicine. Unless you’re diabetic, and then insulin comes pretty high on the list.”

Brummie comedy legend Jasper Carrott has a place forever in the hearts of TV viewers and theatre audiences for observations just like that, and now Eastbourne fans have the chance to see him perform live at the Congress Theatre.

His is a career that has spanned five decades and first started when Jasper became resident compére at the Boggery Folk Club in Birmingham in the mid-seventies. There he discovered his talent for comedy, and his inability to sing; the rest, as they say, is history.
