Tommy Cooper was a true comic genius. His impeccable timing, memorable routines, love of slapstick and groan-worthy gags made him an international name. Commemorating 30 years since his passing, this special tribute celebrates rarely seen material from his early cabaret days and the very best of his gags and tricks from his later extensive repertoire.
