Brighton's Max Miller Appreciation Society marks 25th anniversary

Spokesman Trevor Harvey said: “Anthony Bygraves, the son of the film, theatre, television and recording star Max Bygraves, will be a guest and will be sharing a few anecdotes about his late father. He is also bringing along his ukelele to play.

“His father, Max Bygraves, had greatly admired the comedian Max Miller, Brighton's very own Cheeky Chappie, and he even adopted Max as his stage name so the Society is delighted that Anthony can be present on this special occasion. The after-luncheon cabaret will be provided by the talented singer Helen Ward-Jackson and she will include songs from the Max Miller era.

“This special event is taking place at The Holiday Inn, Brighton, and tickets for the three-course lunch and cabaret cost £60 (£55 for MMAS members) and must be booked and paid for in advance, but no later than Sunday, November 10th. Please note that tickets are not available for purchase at The Holiday Inn. Full details and the booking form can be found on www.maxmiller.org. As Max Miller always said, 'You can't help liking me, can you!'”
