Fans are being urged to snap up tickets for Jasper Carrott when he performs at Theatre Severn next week

The Midlands legend will be performing at Theatre Severn on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

Theatre bosses said today that only a handful of tickets remain for the three days.

During his career, spanning more than 40 years, proud Brummie Jasper has starred in numerous TV programmes – most notably The Detectives and Golden Balls – written books and even reached number five in the UK charts in 1975 with Funky Moped, which was produced by ELO's Jeff Lynne. Funky Moped, in fact, sold more than half a million copies and earned Jasper a silver disc award.

He was granted the Lifetime Achievement Award at the British Comedy Awards in 2008.

He first began doing shows at folk clubs across the Midlands, with Brummie Jasper hailing the Black Country as a 'great place to work'.
