COMEDY MARQUEE
A tribute to one of Caerphilly’s most famous son’s, Tommy Cooper. The comedy marquee will keep children, and adults alike, entertained for hours with a mix of comedy, music, magic and general clowning around.
Tommy is always remembered for his trademark Fez and catchphrase, ‘Just Like That’. A comic, magician and all round entertainer, Tommy's magic tricks invariably went wrong much to his and the audiences delight.
