Eric and Ern: A Century of Laughter

0:00On March 15th, a new stage show is celebrating the 100 birthdays of beloved British comedy duo Morecam and Wise. Actors Ian Ashwattell and John T. Steven Star as Ernie Wise and Eric Morecam, and Eric and Aaron bringing their classic humor back to life. The production draws from the scripts of their longtime writer Eddie Braven and kicks off a tour at the Lowry in Solford from March 24th to 28th. After that, it heads to London's Weston Garrick Theatre and Morecam's Wincha Gardens. Eric Morecam's daughter, Gail Stewart, praised John T. Steven's spot on portrayal, calling it incredible for capturing her father's mannerisms. Perfectly. The actors describe it as their hardest role yet, obsessing over every gesture and detail to honor the legends. Audiences love joining in on famous sketches, like the ones with the duo on the sofa or in bed, one reading the financial times and the other, the dandy, comic. The performers, friends for 41 years, say the crowd's energy and shared nostalgia make every show special.

1:03This heartfelt tribute keeps the memory of Morecam and Wise alive for new generations, just as their timeless laughs continue to bring joy wherever. The show travels.
