CROSS-BORDER RAID IN NAME OF CULTURE
Covering Cromer, Mundesley, the Runtons and surrounding villages in association with the North Walsham Times and Sheringham Independent
Cromer-based writer, broadcaster and entertainer Keith Skipper is gearing up for another cultural raid over the border to draw old rivals even closer together.
Last summer’s Suffolk safari with his Missionaries of Mirth delivered enough home truths and raised sufficient hearty laughs to warrant an action replay at Lowestoft’s Marina Theatre on Sunday 7 June at 2.15pm.
‘Here We Are Again!’ is a natural fun-packed successor to the highly successful ‘We Come in Peace!’ with both shows born out of a burning desire to knock down old prejudices and build new bridges. “Rumours are rife that Lowestoft could do with at least one more”
New Puzzle Page & Competition
said Skip after a recent recognisance trip under the cloak of darkness.
Of course, there is added spice this time with Norwich City and Ipswich Town both embroiled in the big Championship promotion race. The hope is both sets of supporters will accept their respective fates in the true sporting spirit.
“We have much more in common to celebrate than marked differences to force us apart. Our glorious dialects meet somewhere in the middle before Suffolk starts singing. We both laugh at Essex, ourselves and each other.”
(bus-driving Bard of Bodham), fiddler supreme Chris Holderness, melodeon maestro Ian Prettyman (who also acts as cultural attaché in his native Lowestoft) and singer Danny Platton.
There will be a collection for the Eastern Daily Press ‘We Care Appeal’ at the end of the show.
All tickets are £10 from the Marina box office on 01502 533200 or online at www.marinatheatre.co.uk.
Skip will be joined on stage by Mundesley favourites comedian Pat Nearney (The Norfolk Nut), Sheilah Olley (The Norfolk Fairy), inside this issue Mik Godfrey
“I have been to Suffolk before” said Skip “after being told Southwold is no more than Cromer with an A Level. I did take to the waters at Aldeburgh – but they didn’t come up to my expectations. It was much more fun holding elocution lessons in Walberswick.”
