Our Jimmy – The Best Bits

Embedded deep in the psyche of many in Northern Ireland is the comedy characters that were created by the late James Young many years ago. What made them so special is that they were timeless and with each passing generation the same characters re-emerge. Comedian William Caulfield has for many years had the ability to take these well known characters and place them in the modern Northern Ireland of today. In this new show ‘Our Jimmy- The best bits’ they all return. Characters such as the much loved Derek, the outrageous Orange Lily, the affable drunk Willie Simpson, the money savvy man from Ballymena William McFerreridge, bosom pals Emily Beattie and Lily O’Condriac, the little schoolboy and the wordsmith and trade unionist Billy Hulk along with many others will grace the stage at The Grand Opera House with sketches, monologues and song. There is of course no need to have any knowledge of James Young to enjoy the show. This is a night of riotous laughter and some poignant moments delivered by characters kept alive by comedian and actor William Caulfield that you will recognise from the cities and villages of Northern Ireland in this present day.
