The West End hit comes to Wales Millennium Centre next month
Eric Morecombe, Bob Monkhouse and Caerphilly’s very own Tommy Cooper – in a way that you’ve never seen them before. The Last Laugh comes to Wales Millennium Centre this August!
The Last Laugh re-imagines the lives of three of Britain’s all-time greatest comedy heroes. Starring Bob Golding as Eric Morecambe, Damian Williams as Tommy Cooper and Simon Cartwright as Bob Monkhouse – audiences are in for a treat as the show focuses on their last night in comedy, filled with great gags and touching stories. Written and directed by Paul Hendy, it’s hilarious, poignant and guaranteed to be an unforgettable night out.
While all three comedians are legends for many, Tommy Cooper is a particularly memorable one to Welsh audiences. Born in Caerphilly, Tommy became wildly popular from his slapstick comedy and of course, iconic Fez hat. Memories of Tommy live on in his hometown, the most evident being the bronze sculpture stood against the backdrop of Caerphilly Castle. Played by Damien, the resemblance is uncanny between himself and Tommy. He admits, “Tommy is the reason I got into the business”, and his dedication to the role is certainly apparent, as audiences are guaranteed to feel a sense of nostalgia when watching him grace the stage.
After sell out runs at the West End and Edinburgh Fringe, the original cast stays the same and are now on a tour of the UK. It’ll soon land in Cardiff at Wales Millennium Centre from 12th – 16th August 2025.
These three comedians helped to shape the comedy landscape across the UK. If you love comedy, don’t let this show go by without grabbing a ticket.
TUESDAY 12 – SATURDAY 16 AUGUST 2025
