BENIDORM star Crissy Rock is coming to Neston for a one-night only stand-up Christmas show.

Crissy has appeared on shows I’m A Celebrity, Celebrity Masterchef and Lorraine but it is on intimate stages where she started her career originally.

The 64-year-old, from Liverpool, is an award-winning actress, stand-up comedian, and best-selling author.

Crissy originally found the stage empowering and saw opportunities on the comedy circuit in the late 1980s as a way to ‘escape’ her troubled life.

She has not looked back since and gone on to work with the likes of director Ken Loach on Ladybird, late Warrington actor Pete Postlethwaite in BBC’s Butterfly Collectors and Ricky Tomlinson in Jimmy McGovern’s BAFTA-nominated drama Dockers.

Crissy was also in Brookside before making a name for herself as Janey in series one to four of Benidorm, a sitcom about an all-inclusive holiday resort.

Nevertheless, the stage has always remained important to the Liverpudlian.

On Saturday, December 3, Crissy will visit Neston at the Civic Hall for a festive fun edition of her popular stand-up comedy show.

Crissy Rock said: “It’s great to be back on home turf. Let’s raise the roof and have a good laugh.’’

Doors will open at 7pm with the show starting at 8pm.

Tickets for the event are on sale now. Visit https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/439884716027 or www.crissyrock.co.uk.
