An Audience with May McFettridge

Product Information

Jimmy, 72, performed along with John Linehan (aka May McFettridge), Gene Fitzpatrick and William Caulfield. The idea came about due to John’s free time at the beginning of the year, which was inadvertently caused by an expired passport. George Jones introduces a night of the best of Northern Irish stand-ups for an evening of pure comedy heaven. Oh yes, she wouldn't be the same without that," adds John, who will be playing the role of Mrs May Potty, a variation of the Mrs Potts castle housekeeper in the Disney story.

I had to sit down and watch the movie with Eve to get to know the storyline and see what actually happened," laughs the north Belfast comedian, who is excited by the new challenge. We have been before for the usual panto outing to the GOH but I have to say that this year surpassed all previous performances.Deep in rehearsals for his role as the psychic Belfast woman, it’s only been a matter of weeks since John kicked off May’s heels after treading the boards in her latest role as the Fairy Godmother in Grand Opera House in Cinderella in January. Stunning scenery, lighting, breathtaking choreography and jaw-dropping costumes, especially during a winter wonderland scene, added to the magic of this fairytale story of good defeating evil. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. May is, of course, the Queen of one liners and this year's unusual December election provides some political fodder for her. Other team members were: John Linehan (aka May McFettridge), Gene Fitzpatrick and William Caulfield.

People should come along and enjoy themselves at Beauty and The Beast this Christmas because there is no show in town as spectacular for costumes, sets, special effects and singing – and who wouldn't want to miss seeing May McFettridge dancing? I’ll go over to the Fortwilliam Golf Club for an hour, have a few beers and let Brenda (his wife) and the rest of them cook and get out of their way.In 2013 John had a knee replacement at Kingsbridge Private Hospital, Belfast after years of crippling pain. And how does John feel knowing that the character has become so iconic that it'd be recognised throughout Northern Ireland. The popular entertainer was in his birth city of Belfast preparing to appear in the You Must Be Joking show at Newry Town Hall. We’re extremely pleased to hear how well John is feeling and looking forwards to seeing him fighting fit at this year’s panto.

This was a very professional performance from start to finish with perfect casting of the main characters.Linehan has, in character, been a long-running feature on local radio and television, as well as a regular pantomime dame. He performed with fellow Ulster comics, John Linehan (aka May McFettridge), Gene Fitzpatrick and William Caulfield at the City Hotel Derry.
