SEE JOE PASQUALE AS FRANK SPENCER
AT KENT THEATRES IN 2018 !
EVERYONE ’ S FAVOURITE 1970 ’ S CLASSIC TV COMEDY , SOME MOTHERS DO ‘ AVE ‘ EM IS BACK WITH JOE PASQUALE STARRING AS THE LOVEABLE ACCIDENT-PRONE FRANK SPENCER , SARAH EARNSHAW AS HIS WIFE BETTY AND SUSIE BLAKE AS HIS DISAPPROVING MOTHER-IN-LAW , MRS FISHER . JOE ANSWERED OUR QUICKFIRE Q & A BELOW TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE SHOW .
The most successful sitcom of the decade gave us the hapless Frank – and his long suffering wife , Betty – with catchphrases galore and a never-ending list of disasters with roller-skating escapades and runaway chickens .
Joe Pasquale is a national comedy treasure and is one of the hardest working and top-selling live comedians in British comedy today . He exploded onto our television screens in New Faces and then went on to win I ’ m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here and host The Price is Right . Susie Blake ’ s incredible career includes Wicked and Blithe Spirit , not forgetting that she had us all in stiches in The Victoria Wood Show for the BBC . Some Mothers Do ‘ Ave ‘ Em is directed by the award-winning Guy Unsworth .
Hi Joe . Frank Spencer is such an iconic character , how have you prepared for the role ?
Filling Frank Spencer ’ s boots is an enormous undertaking , and certainly not one that I have taken lightly ... We have been working on the script for over two years , and had three different workshops for the play . I ' m so happy it ' s now all coming together . We even have a stunt coordinator on board , so I ’ ve been in physical training as well to keep fit !
What can Kent audiences expect from Some Mothers Do ‘ Ave ‘ Em ?
Audiences can expect two hours of honest , funny comedy , the likes of which we don ’ t see any more on our TV screens . There will be something that every age group can laugh at . It ' s proper laugh-out-loud family entertainment .
You ’ ve been touring the UK with stand-up and theatre shows for many years . Do you enjoy the touring lifestyle and do you have any favourite venues ?
I love doing the shows and standup gigs on tour , but I hate the travelling side of it and I ’ m not that keen on hotels every night of the week , plus it ’ s difficult eating healthily on tour . However , the audiences more than make up for the bad side of touring life !
My favourite gigs in the country are the old variety theatres . They have a lot of atmosphere and they all seem to be haunted . I love nothing more than getting to an old theatre early in the morning and just sitting on the stage , looking out at the empty auditorium and taking in the scariness of it .
Joe Pasquale stars as Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do ' Ave ' Em at The Churchill Theatre , Bromley , from Monday 12th March to Saturday 17th March 2018 . Tickets and more info at www . churchilltheatre . co . uk .
