Eric and Little Ern, created and performed by Ian Ashpitel and Jonty Stephens, featuring classic material by Eddie Braben, Dick Hills and Sid Green, stormed the West End last Christmas, where it earned rave reviews, had is original run extended to March, and it was nominated for the Best Entertainment Olivier Award.

Eric and Little Ern vividly brings back warm memories of a bygone era. Recreating some of the finest moments of Eric and Ernie's television and stage performances, cherished moments from the archives sit alongside new material created by the performers. Together they make a brilliant comedy that recreates the all-ages appeal of Morecambe and Wise in their heyday, featuring classic material including the original Grieg Piano Concerto sketch and Eric's take on Shakespeare
