In Conversation with DAMIAN WILLIAMS who plays Tommy Cooper about The Last Laugh

We chatted to Damian Williams who plays Tommy Cooper in the brilliant play, The Last Laugh.
Direct from a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Last Laugh is a brand-new laugh-a-minute play which re-imagines the lives of three of Britain's all-time greatest comedy heroes – Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Bob Monkhouse.
Filled with great gags and touching stories, The Last Laugh is nostalgic and poignant and guaranteed to be the ultimate comedy night out.
Written and directed by the award-winning Paul Hendy, and starring Bob Golding as Morecambe, Simon Cartwright as Monkhouse and Damian Williams as Cooper.
The Last Laugh is on at the Manchester Opera House from July 29th until August 2nd 2025
