Jasper Carrott lines up Eastbourne date
A spokesman said: “If ever there was a time that a night of laughter and rock was needed, surely it’s now and what better company than comic star Jasper Carrott and rock legend Bev Bevan plus Andy Bennett. This night of music and laughter will lift the spirits and remind us what life is all about!
“Brummie funnyman Jasper shot to fame in the 1970s first as a folk musician and then as a comedian and has gone on to become one of the UKs most beloved comics.

“Jasper became better known as a comic than the musician which he originally intended to be, and the rest is history. With his release of Funky Moped and Magic Roundabout in 1975 he became a household name, TV shows beckoned and his career hit the stratosphere.
“From working as an actor in the comedy The Detectives opposite Robert Powell to game shows including ITV daytime favourite Golden Balls, he is a prolific TV producer and enjoyed huge success with a show called Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
