From the Olivier nominated duo behind the hugely celebrated critically acclaimed West End hit ERIC & LITTLE ERN.
This is a show for all the family from 8 to 80!

OUR STORY

The stuff of dreams ...
Ian and Jonty first met at drama school in Birmingham in 1983 where they became firm friends. Even back then people would ask ‘are you a double act?’ to which the boys would answer, in unison, ‘No’.
Little did they know where this shared sense of humour and bond of friendship would take them.
Jonty is a brilliant mimic and Eric Morecambe was one of many impressions he would perform from an early age. Eric was his hero and remains so to this day. Jonty is a self-confessed Morecambe and Wise anorak, and it was his knowledge and love of the boys that proved to be the bedrock of their story.

“Eric and Little Ern” written and performed by Ian Ashpitel and Jonty Stephens was nominated for an Olivier Award in 2014.


Another tour and a Christmas run at the St James Theatre London followed. Along the way the boys appeared on several TV and radio shows and have recently appeared on The One Show with two other comedy icons Des O’Connor and Jimmy Tarbuck.

The whole adventure has been the stuff of dreams.

Live at the Reading Rooms Theatre Wednesday 12th May 2027
