The region's stars, including Titania Trust, will be rallying together for a Big Variety Show like no other.
This will be Titania’s first appearance in Norwich since her appearance at The Forum’s story time sparked a protest.
The actor behind Titania Trust, Joseph Ballard said: “The turn of events last summer was so unexpected, but the support and warmth from everyone here in Norwich and Norfolk was amazing.
“I’ve learnt that there are some people out there who will attack others – not just professionally, which is when I perform as Titania Trust – but also personally when the abuse would not stop at a performance.
“Importantly I learnt that Norwich said no to hate.”
Titania Trust will be joined by the Amazing Anthony – a multi-award winning mind reader, comedy ventriloquist Trish Dunn, comic magician Jake Ace and music duo David Rees and Julie Hewitt.
This show is raising funds for the region’s benevolent fund, which is set up to help performers and professionals of the theatre and entertainment industry when in need.
Joseph Ballard, who is also branch secretary for the Equity East Anglia, said: “Since lockdown it’s still tough for some performers and those who work I the industry.
“As performers we need to stick together, and we hope our audiences will support us going forward.”
Phil Segon, chair of the Equity East Anglia branch, said: “The show line-up highlights the top talent of the region as we celebrate Variety as entertainment in all forms.
“Think of it as the region’s answer to the Royal Variety Show.”
The Big Variety Show takes place on Saturday March 25, 7.30pm at the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich.
All tickets are priced at £16 and can be booked from the theatre’s box office on 01603 620917 or online at www.maddermarket.co.uk.
