Nov 11 2009 by Will Harris, Crewe Chronicle

CHARITY champ Irene Edwards is back at the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe with another night of variety, Starburst.

Comedy legend Jimmy Cricket tops the bill in what is a repeat appearance for the Irish funnyman, having previously headlined Irene’s show in 2007.

Cricket still makes regular appearances around the country, with his famous catchphrases, the famous letter from his ‘Mammy’, and his trademark outfit of cut-off evening trousers, tuxedo, hat and wellies.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Got Talent finalists Kate and Gin will be bow-wowing the audience with their tricks and dances.

The pair, who live at Norbury, became the talk of the nation in the 2008 competition and give their first public performance in South Cheshire.

Popular X Factor contestant Trevor Craig is back to belt out some tracks, while the Masquerade School of Peforming Arts again feature the finest local talent in the line-up.

Irene regularly stages variety shows to support the Christie Hospital in Wythenshawe, for which she has raised more than £135,000 over 18 years.

The show starts at 7pm and tickets are priced £9-£12, to book phone the box office on 01270 537333.
