Comedian Jimmy Tarbuck is set to perform in Yeovil as part of his 2025 tour.

The showbiz legend, who is celebrating 67 years in the industry and his 85th birthday, will bring his An Evening with Jimmy Tarbuck show to Westlands Entertainment Venue on Friday, May 23.

The tour, which is running from April to June, will see the entertainer perform across the country, with tickets for the Yeovil show available at westlandsyeovil.co.uk.

Mr Tarbuck said: "We’re going to have laughter, songs and I’m going to talk about my career in showbusiness.

"I’m going to tell you about the people I’ve met: Sinatra, Elvis, Cilla Black, Tom Jones, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope.

"The shows with Barry Manilow at the London Palladium last year were fantastic – what a performer he is.

"But now I am really looking forward to visiting the towns and cities where I learned my craft and built my fanbase.

"I have played at Yeovil Westlands so many times over the years and it is one of my absolute favourite places to perform.

"The crowds are always on great form and always ready to laugh.

"And laughter is the only drug I’ve ever needed."

Mr Tarbuck will present a mix of anecdotes and jokes from his career, including stories from his time presenting Sunday Night at the London Palladium, which is where he made his name in 1963.

He will also share tales from his childhood in Liverpool, and his golfing life, which has been a source of both entertainment and celebrity encounters.

The evening will be divided into two sets and will include an audience Q&A.
