Newport to welcome comedy team

A musical show featuring four famous UK comedy entertainers is coming to Newport later in the year.

Newport residents with a love for music and comedy can indulge their appetites with a new show arriving in the city this spring. Called The Prat Pack, the light-hearted production features the talents of Bradley Walsh (Gladiators and The Chase), Shane Richie (I’m a Celebrity… and EastEnders), Brian Conley (EastEnders and The Brian Conley Show,) and Joe Pasquale (Dancing on Ice).

Premier Newport events venue ICC Wales will host the event, which is set to come loaded with laughs and well-known numbers. Major events venues often rely on poster printing services for largescale advertisements they can display outside to encourage attendance at performances.

The show will see the four TV stars provide their own unique take on The Rat Pack’s performances that saw Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop sing and joke on stage at Las Vegas venues like The Sands. The entertainers, who are close friends offscreen, will have the backing of a 15-piece band on the night.

The Prat Pack will now be on stage in the main auditorium of the ICC Wales on Friday, May 9. The events venue is based at Coldra Woods in Newport and the upcoming performance is part of a nationwide tour.
