An Evening with Sir David Jason

Sir David Jason is back in North Yorkshire on Sunday 14 November 2027, playing the Scarborough Spa Grand Hall. It's a comedy evening that pulls from the whole of his career, and given the names involved, it's a fair bit of ground to cover.

The show brings back many of his most iconic characters, alongside stories and clips from his stage and television roles. Among them are Only Fools and Horses, A Touch of Frost, Open All Hours, Porridge, The Darling Buds of May and Danger Mouse. If you've spent any time with British comedy over the last few decades, you'll recognise almost every one of those.

There's a bit of a local angle to it, too. Jason has plenty of memories of living and filming in and around Yorkshire, and the Yorkshire Society named him an 'Honorary Yorkshireman' in 2026. He's billed as a North London electrician with a passion for amateur dramatics who rose to a knighthood and National Treasure status, and he's credited with changing the face of British television comedy and drama. The show is for anyone over 12.

Doors open at 6.30pm, and the show starts at 7.15pm. If you want to make an evening of it, pre-show dining is available at the on-site Farrer's Bar and Restaurant, so you can eat before you head into the Grand Hall.
