The Truth About Britannia Pier!

This week we're recording live from the dressing room of the iconic Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth, and we've got a very special guest — Shea, the man behind the bookings at one of the UK's most beloved seaside venues.We chat about what it's like to programme a 1,300-seat pier theatre, the acts that refuse to die (think Jim Davidson, Roy Chubby Brown, Joe Pasquale and Mick Miller), and the shows that sold out with almost zero effort. Plus, Shea shares his best crowd disasters, a kebab-fuelled night out with Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, and why a certain Mancunian B&B owner ended up at a Morrissey gig by complete accident.We also get into K-pop, Kevin Bloody Wilson, the eternal question of bigger chairs, and whether Michael Barrymore could ever stage a comeback.Equal parts nostalgia, comedy industry chat and Great Yarmouth love letter — don't miss it.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.
