Meet The Prat Pack

Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley, Shane Richie and Joe Pasquale unite for tour

Four veteran comedy entertainers are to tour the UK in 2025 with their version of the Rat Pack - The Prat Pack.

Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley, Shane Richie and Joe Pasquale will be jokingly aping the iconic group of New York entertainers from the 1940s and 1950s led by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr when they hit the road for a 22-date tour kicking off in April.

The quartet will also be backed by a 15-piece band for the tour, which was inspired when the four appeared for a one-off show at the Palladium in London in March.

Gladiators and The Chase host Walsh – host of The Chase – said: ‘People are starved of our type of entertainment - songs, stories, jokes - and banter.

‘It’s an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day, and it's a fantastic night. We are just thrilled.

‘We all share the same dressing room - we're mates. We've known each other for so long now - and the show is about warmth and family - because we are. It's great, really great.’

Walsh, Conley and Richie were all Pontins Bluecoats earlier in their careers and Pasquale was a Warner’s Greencoat, giving them all a grounding in variety before breaking into the big time.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday.
