THREE Days and Three Minutes with Larry is

"a nostalgic and intimate insight into Generation Game host Larry Grayson’s last public appearance," and the show is coming to Malvern Theatres.

The shows stars Ian Parkin, of "Four Poofs and a Piano" fame, and Lee Peart.

A spokesman said: "Slack-Alice and Everard are once more brought to life in this behind the scenes peek at TV presenter Larry Grayson.

"Said to be ‘waiting for the right woman to come along’ in a time when presenters could not be openly gay, the Generation Game host’s personal life has had a muted public attention."

The spokesman added: "Three minutes with Larry takes the audience backstage at his last performance in 1994 at the Royal Variety Show, when the camp comedian befriended a spiritual healer to help him get his three minute act together."

The play stars Ian Parkin as Larry, a founding member of Four Poofs and a Piano, made famous by the lad's long career on Friday Night, With Jonathan Ross.

Lee Peart will play his spiritualist friend Mark. Lee is a Manchester based comedian, presenter and actor.

Larry Grayson first appeared on our TV screens in the 1950s, which led to complaints that his act was too outrageous.

He returned in the 1970s with Shut That Door! and The Larry Grayson Show, but his popularity was at its highest when he replaced Bruce Forsyth as the host of The Generation Game, where he stayed for four years.

His last TV appearance was on December 3, 1994 at the Royal Variety Performance; he suffered from a perforated appendix later in the month, and died in January 1995.

Writer Chris Mellor said “I first met a spiritual friend of Larry's, who told me about the way Larry made his big life decisions like giving up the Generation Game after consulting a medium. "After researching his archive I soon found that Larry's creative work was heavily influenced by those psychics who enjoyed his company. The play is a fun way of exploring the comedian's spiritual journey, and of course his hidden camp.”

Three Days and Three Minutes with Larry will be appearing at Malvern Theatres on Friday April 29 and Saturday April 30.
