"Retirement My Arse!" is a live comedy and conversation tour starring British actor and entertainer Ricky Tomlinson
(famously known as Jim Royle in The Royle Family and Bobby Grant in Brookside)
In this special event, Ricky reflects on his journey long before television fame—growing up in Liverpool, working as a plasterer, and becoming a passionate trade unionist shaped by strong political convictions and the events of the 1970s building workers’ strike.
With warmth and wit, he then shares his unlikely rise to stardom, from early struggles to his breakthrough in Brookside and iconic role as Jim Royle in The Royle Family. His stories from life on and off screen are both hilarious and heartfelt.
Hosted by writer and performer Asa Murphy, this is more than an autobiography—it’s a celebration of honesty, humour, and humanity.
Each ticket comes with a Meet & Greet with Ricky after the show
