IMPERSONATOR Jon Culshaw will be performing a show paying homage to one of Britain's most beloved comedians in Barrow.

So Comedy & Broken Robot Productions presents Les Dawson: Flying High, Starring Jon Culshaw at The Forum later this month.

Culshaw, often regarded as Britain’s best impressionist, is also a well-recognised entertainer and has appeared in numerous comedy shows.

He performed the act at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe before taking it on a UK tour.

The show is billed as: "Les Dawson: Flying High, Starring Jon Culshaw brilliantly channels all the emotions, a rich life procures, gifting the audience with anecdotes, incidents, and insights into Les’ journey, as he travels on Concorde at twice the speed of sound 68,000 feet above the Earth, in this new play from BAFTA and Olivier Award-winning writer Tim Whitnall and director Bob Golding.

"The performance explores themes such as mortality, identity, love, kindness, spiritual beliefs or even ambition, which paced Les’ life, presenting a more philosophical version of the late popular comedian, as he dives into his indisputable literary talent and the origin of such a successful and brilliant life.

"Les Dawson: ‘Flying High’s dramatic foundation is an advantage in building up the ambiguous tone and style of this ‘hilarious-yet humbling; heightened yet grounded; poignant yet ultimately uplifting’ tale.

"Growing up, Les, the self-declared ‘slum kid’, yearned to be recognized for his writing prowess, and to transform his passion of literature into a full-time profession.

"Simultaneously, he discovered his ability to make people laugh and carried this ambition into adulthood, reflected in his acclaimed memoirs ‘No Tears for the Clown’.

"From ambiance music to inventive lighting and ingenious sound design, the play uses a variety of audio-visual effects, all participating in creating an entertaining, lively, and beautiful atmosphere. It is a must-see show, for all the family."

The show will hit The Forum theatre on Sunday November 20.
