FRANK CARSON 

 

 VARIETY CLUB ANNUAL BALL

HOTEL DE FRANCE

SATURDAY 8^TH NOVEMBER 2008

 

 

Hot on the heels of last years highly successful Las Vegas style Annual Ball the Variety Club of Jersey is delighted to announce the star of this years event will be the inimitable FRANK CARSON, at the Hotel de France on Saturday 8^th November 2008.

Frank Carson is an Irish comedian and occasional actor. Born in Belfast, he came to England to work as a stand-up comedian

 His style of telling jokes and good material came over well on TV and he was one of the most noticeable of the acts when he appeared on The Comedians (1971).

This was a novel TV show at the time and consisted of a half hour of non-stop stand-up comedy from several comedians per show. It became a hit in the UK and Frank Carson's career was established from then on. The show started success for a long list of UK comedians, many of who are still working today.

Frank Carson was a regular on TV for many years after The Comedians, also working as a stage entertainer and appearing before the royal family in shows. Carson's two catchphrase's never seem to fail when he appears before an audience, and he often tells 'Irish jokes'. i.e. jokes mocking an Irishman in a mild way.

 

Today  Frank is still working, making live and TV appearances, and doing much charity work for which he was awarded a papal knighthood by the Pope.

 

Chris Robin Ball Chairman said he was delighted and feels that Variety had scored a real coup in attracting Frank to Jersey. Another International Specialty Act will again be appearing at the ball; as usual this will be kept secret until the night

 

Tickets for the Ball and meal will be priced at £80.00 per person.
