Strictly Come Dancing finalist Pasha Kovalev who is teamed up with Girl’s Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh, is joined by Katya Virshilas, who was paired up with Phil Tufnell and Gavin Henson in previous series, for a live show visiting the Pier Pavilion on April 3.

It features guest dancers, an appearance by a local dance school and a question and answer session.

Opening the season on Friday March 15 is evergreen comedian Jim Davidson in his The Legend Continues tour, which promises taboo subjects and dangerously uncompromising comedy.

The following night rubber faced comic Phil Cool combines gags with the kind of satire, anecdotes, observations and routines that made him a prime time TV star in the 1980s.
