Tommy Cooper: I Didn’t Let You Down, Did I?
The “Hilarious and heartbreaking” story of Tommy Cooper! This show explores the life of the British comedian and magician Tommy Cooper, who won the hearts of a nation in a career spanning more than 30 years before his untimely death, live on stage and broadcast live on television during "Live at Her Majesty's" in 1984, to raucous laughter and rapturous applause. The perfect send off for a comedian who lived to make people smile. This show uses some of Cooper’s classic performances and tricks, while also diving deep into the heart of a man who battled many demons. A chronic alcoholic who was equally in love with two women, his wife and his stage manager, we see him wrestle with his choices and mistakes as the walls close in on him on all sides, the brandy runs dry, and the final curtain approaches. How could such an intrinsically funny man be so fearful that the magic would leave him? Why did Tommy (and a whole host of comedians before and since) have these doubts, and how did he cope with them and his crippling addiction in order to be funny every single day, until it killed him?
