A laugh-a-minute performer with a style all of his own, Irishman Jimmy has been delighting audiences ever since reaching the finals of LWT’s talent contest, Search For A Star, in 1981.

Always a grafter, he worked as a Butlins Redcoat for several summers, and is a veteran of many pantomimes, not to mention radio shows and his own TV programme, which featured the debut performance of one Rory Bremner.
