Cromer Pier Show 2016 39 years of First Class Variety
From one of the UK’s most Famous Pier Theatres Bringing Audiences Talent from Norfolk to Australia Back for another recording breaking year, Cromer Pier Show is now the only ‘End-of-the-Pier’ show in the world and, if advance bookings are anything to go by, this year will see a high demand for tickets.
Headlining this year’s show is comedian Phil Butler, who last appeared in 1998 and 1999. Phil is truly a comedy act like no other, using his razor sharp wit to inject his hilarious take on entertainment. His stage skills include magic, juggling and ventriloquism which, added to his wealth of experience, has made Phil a hit at both mainstream and alternative venues.
Joining Phil is Australia’s favourite comedy juggler, James BuSTAR. James appeared on Australia’s Got Talent and is now a headline act at performances and festivals across the globe.
Making her first ever appearance at the Pavilion Theatre is Marea Smithson, a comedy impressionist from Norfolk. She has been impersonating people for as long as she can remember and began performing on stage at around the age of eighteen, after the girls at work (in the wage office at Rowntree Mackintosh) encouraged
her to enter the ‘Search for a Star’ talent contest at The Talk of The East in Norwich. Marea’s usual place of work is at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital, as a secretary in the radiology department, where she has worked for the past 25 years and, although she enjoys it, the chance of doing a summer season in Cromer was so different and exciting Marea could not say no. The Norfolk and Norwich has kindly allowed Marea to take a sabbatical so she can to take part in The Cromer Pier Show, a challenge that she is really looking forward to.
