Commemorating the 25th anniversary of his untimely final curtain, MORECAMBE celebrates the extraordinary life of Britain's best loved comic - Eric Morecambe. Featuring the multi-talented Bob Golding - who could have been born to play Eric - penned by the brilliant Tim Whitnall and directed by solo-maestro Guy Masterson, MORECAMBE is a must see for all fans of classic British comedy.

A journey into the life of Eric Morecambe - 'Comedian of the Century'...

At the Edinburgh Fringe 1997, while appearing together in Steve Martin's Wasp, Guy Masterson casually commented, to his on-stage son, Bob Golding, on his extraordinary likeness to a young Eric Morecambe' for Bob was only 24 at the time. Now, 12 years later, in commemoration of 25 years since the great man's untimely death, they are creating a theatrical celebration of Eric's life.

"Bob could have been born to play Eric." says Masterson, who knows that one needs an extraordinary talent to do justice to Britain's 'Comedian of the Century'. "He has it all!" Masterson attests, "He's an all-rounder. He can act, sing, dance, play the harmonica - which is important! But most of all, he has funny in his bones. From the moment he appears, all doubts evaporate!"

While working together on Peter Kay's Britain's got the Pop Factor, late last year, Bob invited his colleague and writer, Tim Whitnall, to dive into the life of Eric Morecambe and extract the essence of all that can be celebrated. Whitnall has created a delicious, deliriously funny memorial to a man that held the mantle of 'Britain's best loved comic'. From Morecambe Pier to 'André Preview', from tumbleweed to Glenda Jackson, it's a glorious, moving portrait of the affectionate lad with funny bones, born entertainer, big-hearted perfectionist'

Directed by solo maestro Guy Masterson (12 Angry Men, Scaramouche Jones etc) - who also appears opposite Whitnall this Fringe in The Sociable Plover - Morecambe is surely destined to be one of the hits of Edinburgh 2009.

The audience will laugh, cry and remember the man who had that twinkle in his eye and shared it with us all. The man what brought us sunshine.

So come laugh, come cry, and celebrate "the tall one with glasses" who had that twinkle in his eye and shared it with us all.
