Waterford actor Jamie Beamish who starred in Bridgeton and Derry Girls is returning to the Theatre Royal stage 30 years on from starting his career there.
Songs and Stories from Ballybricken to Bridgerton will take place on Friday, June 17th.
It will feature the actor singing songs from the shows he auditioned for and didn't get, and also shows that he wished he had auditioned for. Jamie will also be telling ‘never heard before’ stories about his career that has led him from The Mall to the West End.
He hopes the night will be like a sing-song with his friends, where he is telling tales and showbiz anecdotes from his time in London and further afield. He says he has a few "beauties" to tell, that he wouldn't tell to the media!
Jamie wanted a cancer charity to benefit from the night because in 2007 he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. All profits from the event will go to Waterford’s SOLAS Cancer Support Centre.
I really wanted the beneficiary of this event to be a cancer charity and what better organisation than the SOLAS Cancer Support Centre. They do such amazing work and I am so happy to be able to help even in this little way through donating all the profits from this evening to them.
Tickets are available through the Theatre Royal website or by calling the box office on 051 874402.
In 2021, Jamie was the first artist to take up residency at Theatre Royal , more here.
