Attendees will also see recreations of the period's most iconic comedy sketches and adverts, impersonations of Cliff Richard and Mick Jagger from Trevor, and covers of songs by the likes of The Ronettes, The Beatles, ABBA and Tom Jones by the incredible ensemble cast.

'Our show is authentic, and we have an incredibly talented cast – probably the best we have ever had. We have multi-instrumentalists, extremely accurate impersonations and big dollops of comedy which the audiences in Glasgow always seem to love.' He continued: 'We know when we go onto that stage at night that we take no prisoners. We are there to entertain and our sole objective is for the audience to leave happier than when they came in. 'This show is a mix of things which nobody else is doing right now and we are one of the last variety shows that are around.' 'We are like a dinosaur in the business now,' he added, with a laugh. Tickets are available to purchase now, visit The show runs for three hours and includes an interlude.

'We have been collecting money for about 30 years now after the shows,' Trevor said. He continued: 'We consider ourselves to be in a very privileged position as people come to see our show, we've made them happy, and they leave on a high. They are happy to give a bit on the way out and anything that people can give is amazing.'
