An Evening with Jimmy Tarbuck

Venue: Theatre Royal
7.30pm
Jimmy Tarbuck OBE, one of the most popular household names from the golden era of British stand up, is back with a bang. The much-loved entertainer is on tour throughout 2026 with his solo show An Evening with Jimmy Tarbuck which stops off at Winchester. And he can't wait. Jimmy says: "It’s been great, and I love getting on stage, where I belong. Now I am really looking forward to visiting the towns and cities where I learned my craft and built my fanbase. The crowds are always on great form and always ready to laugh. And laughter is the only drug I’ve ever needed!"
