Blackpool Winter Gardens – Morecambe & Wise – 1953
An original programme for Something To Sing About at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, in 1953, featuring a very early Morecambe & Wise performance. Also on the bill are Malcolm Goddard, Jean Bayless, Harry Worth and Allan Jones.
Blackpool’s summer shows were a vital proving ground for variety comedians in the years before television made them national stars.
Early Morecambe & Wise material is highly collectable, and this is a superb example of old theatre programmes from the golden age of British variety.
