Four icons of the British Comedy scene will be joining forces next spring to bring us their parody version of The Rat Pack – aptly titled the Prat Pack.

Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley, Shane Richie and Joe Pasquale will be dusting off their tailcoats and touring the UK in this joke adaptation of the group, famously filled by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

Walsh – best known these days as the host of Gladiators and The Chase – first brought the group together in March for a one-off show at the London Palladium. But, after selling out the entire venue, the idea for a full tour was born.

The show will see the four comedy veterans, alongside a 15-piece band, giving performances inspired by the original group. Fans can expect songs, jokes and plenty of onstage banter.

As Walsh said in the press release: "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."

He added: "The show harks back to the 1950s and '60s – the Rat Pack era of Sinatra and the gang. The four of us have been mates for over 40 years now and we have a combined age of around 250 years, so a quarter of a millennium. The only time we were on the same show was in 1993 for the Royal Variety Performance. I’ve been desperate to put something together like this for so long."

Who is in The Prat Pack?

The Prat Pack will star four British comedy veterans: Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley, Shane Richie and Joe Pasquale.

All four have been friends for years and, according to the tour promoter: "Walsh, Conley and Richie were all Pontins Bluecoats earlier in their careers and Pasquale was a Warner's Greencoat" – entertainers at family holiday camps – "Giving them all a grounding in variety before decades-long careers at the very top of entertainment."
