Eric and Ern, the new show from Ian Ashpitel and Jonty Stephen, will be coming to BEAM from Tuesday 26th to Friday 29th May 2026.

The show’s national tour is a mark of celebration for the 100th birthdays of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise and their legendary comedy partnership.

Eric and Ern takes audiences back to the times when whole families would huddle around the telly to watch the fantastic Morecambe and Wise Christmas specials. This brilliant homage to the two national comedy heroes is crammed full of renditions of those famous comedy sketches, and hits all the right notes. From Greig’s Piano Concerto to Mr Memory, "Arsenal!", Eric and Ern is a show full of Morecambe and Wise's most loved routines, songs and sketches - and of course their special musical guest. It is suitable for all the family from 8 to 80.

Eric and Ern is created by Ian Ashpitel and Jonty Stephens based on the writing of Eddie Braben. It is presented by The Production Garden in association with Cube Room Productions.
