The Supervet leads a star-studded bill of Big Names at The Grand this season

Are you thrilled by famous faces? Blackpool Grand Theatre will shine bright with star power this season as big household names prepare to take centre stage, from top TV actors to comedians, dancers to musicians, reality stars and even a Supervet!

Don’t forget to bring your autograph book!

Make a memorable appointment with Noel Fitzpatrick – Beyond Supervet at Blackpool Grand Theatre on Sunday 12 November as he brings his uplifting and motivating live stage show, told with passion, humour and raw truth, learned from the thousands of animals he has helped through his career – and the people who have loved them.

Professor Noel Fitzpatrick is one of the world’s most renowned and much-loved orthopaedic-neuro veterinary surgeons and his powerful TV show The Supervet follows the highs and lows of a working veterinary practice as hard-to-cure pets from across the country receive cutting-edge care from Noel and his team. This captivating new live show will go far beyond the boundaries of the smash-hit TV series to explore how caring for animals can help us all and how modern medicine can have an incredible impact on our lives, all told to a powerful soundtrack of stories, anecdotes and a vision for the future.  

Noel said: “Through my life and career I have many tales to tell from the animals who inspire me and have healed me through their demonstrations of bravery, openness and kindness. This show is an honest and open account about life, and I hope many will relate to it, laugh and celebrate the only thing that matters at the end of it all, love.”

Blackpool Grand Theatre’s famous stage has been graced by some of the greatest actors and stars of their day over the years, from Sarah Bernhardt, Tallulah Bankhead and Peggy Ashcroft to John Gielgud, Alec Guinness, Noel Coward, Timothy West and Sir Ian McKellen.

Recent visitors have included Patrick Duffy, Alan Carr, Jon Richardson, Danny Walters and Craig Revel-Horwood to name just a few.
