Combine four-star luxury with comedy and soul
Stay in one of Merseyside’s most impressive hotels and watch amazing performances at the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre, such as Jimmy Carr's comedy act and David Gest's Soul Spectacular show.
Guests at the four-star Ramada Plaza – part of the largest hotel, conference and entertainment complex in north England – can enjoy Jimmy Carr’s Laughter Therapy show on October 28th as part of the Southport Comedy Week.
David Gest’s Soul Spectacular follows on November 1st, featuring 16 soul legends, including special guest Percy Sledge.
Carr is famous in the past for hosting a number of Channel 4 TV panel shows, such as 8 out of 10 Cats.
Additionally, he has presented a series of “100 programmes”, including: 100 Worst Pop Records, 100 Worst Britons, 100 Greatest Cartoon Characters and 100 Scary Moments.
Carr has also experienced a huge amount of success as a stand-up comedian. In fact, in 2003, he sold a whole month’s worth of performances of his Edinburgh Festival show Charm Offensive by the second day of the festival.
Amazingly, he received 5-star reviews from four major newspapers for his performances. David Gest is more famous in the UK for his experiences on reality TV, having finished in fourth place on the 2006 series of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!
Born in LA, the American concert promoter was once married to Liza Minelli and he is also close friends with the Jacksons.
His show at the Southport Theatre will star The Temptations Review, featuring Dennis Edwards, Candi Staton and Percy Sledge, among other artists.
General Manager Enda Rylands said: “The Ramada Plaza couldn’t be in a better location for guests attending the best shows in Southport – they don’t even need to go outside to visit the theatre next door!“
Nestled in the heart of Southport promenade’s new waterfront development near the Victorian pier, the Ramada Plaza boasts 133 stylish rooms including eight with floor to ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the coastline.
Other facilities include a fitness suite, four meeting rooms and a brasserie, with the Portland Hall Spa nearby. The Ramada Plaza offers special joint deals with the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre throughout the year, combining top-class entertainment with four-star comfort and luxury.
