The show premiered in Liverpool a few years ago and went down a storm, now it’s even bigger and better than before.”   Asa Murphy has created and co-produced the show. Asa has been a successful entertainer for 18 years. He has performed all over the world singing Big Band Swing music and my own self-penned songs. He has fulfilled many of his dreams as a performer selling out London's Ronnie Scott’s, topping the bill at the famous Liverpool Empire, and cruising and singing on the most beautiful liners in the world. Asa also has a very popular BBC Radio show and has been on the airwaves for 10 years.

Laughter, music, and the ability to make people face life’s difficult obstacles through friendship. I am very proud that the show has been so well received with my family originating from Cork and Tralee and many still living in Ireland.”

More enthusiasm than script … Catherine Rice and Ricky Tomlinson in Irish Annie's.

Irish Annie’s review – it’s the Ricky Tomlinson show

Theatre Royal, St Helens The actor and raconteur is in his element in Asa Murphy’s jolly Irish bar-themed patchwork production

I s that a look of delight or terror in the eyes of the cast when Ricky Tomlinson takes to the stage? He is the big draw in this patchwork show (I hesitate to use the word play), in which the regulars at a pub called Irish Annie’s take turns to interrupt a jolly set of singalong favourites by the band on stage.

Tomlinson is nominally a character called Scouse Pete, but is actually just Tomlinson. Dressed like Jim Royle in The Royle Family , mustard T-shirt, slip-ons and lank grey hair, the 82-year-old is in full-on anecdote mode.

As we are in St Helens, he gives us the one about local boy Johnny Vegas needing a massage on the set of Grimsby . As writer Andy Lynch is in the house, he recalls his Brookside breakthrough as Bobby Grant. And as he is Ricky Tomlinson, he reminds us of his run-ins with Cilla Black, his meeting with Norman Wisdom and his imprisonment after a 1972 strike. The overturning of his conviction in 2021 gets a cheer.

He could go on with this stuff forever, which seems to alarm singer and director Asa Murphy, watching from stage left. He knows it’s time for Tomlinson to do the pub quiz and urges him to get on with the show. The quiz turns out to be a series of Christmas-cracker jokes enlivened by Tomlinson throwing sweets into the audience as prizes.

It’s feeble stuff, but thanks to Tomlinson’s generous bark of a laugh, the exertions of host Catherine Rice, who has more enthusiasm than script, and spirited renditions of The Wild Rover, Brown Eyed Girl and Danny Boy, they just about get away with it.

At Epstein theatre, Liverpool , 19 March and Joe Longthorne theatre, Blackpool , 1 July.

Asa Murphy has created and directed the show. Asa has been a successful entertainer for 18 years. He has performed all over the world singing Big Band Swing music and my own self-penned songs. He has fulfilled many of his dreams as a performer selling out London's Ronnie Scott’s, topping the bill at the famous Liverpool Empire, and cruising and singing on the most beautiful liners in the world.

Asa also has a very popular BBC Radio show and has been on the airwaves for 10 years. In 2019 he turned his talents to writing stage musicals and has so far had three hit shows, Buddy Holly Lives, Mack The Knife and Irish Annie’s along with two children’s shows.

Writer, Director, and Performer, Asa Murphy, added: 'This show is a celebration of everything that makes Irish culture and the people of Ireland so special. Laughter, music, and the ability to make people face life’s difficult obstacles through friendship.'

Asa added: 'I am very proud that the show has been so well received in the UK and with my family originating from Cork and Tralee and many still living in Ireland, the Ireland dates will be a special personal moment and I am looking forward to catching up with family and friends in the Emerald Isle.'
