Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley, Shane Richie and Joe Pasquale announce huge career news
Walsh, Conley, Richie, and Pasquale have shared exciting career news, revealing they'll reunite on stage. The last time they performed together was in 1993 for the Royal Variety Performance.
Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley, Shane Richie, and Joe Pasquale have announced exciting career news: they’re going on a UK tour in 2025 as The Prat Pack. The four beloved TV stars are set to hit the road for a unique show inspired by the legendary Rat Pack.
The Rat Pack was a group of famous entertainers in the 1950s and 1960s, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford. They were known for their fun performances, often singing, joking, and performing together, especially in Las Vegas.
Walsh, best known for hosting The Chase and Gladiators, will join Conley, who hosted The Brian Conley Show and played Tom “Rocky” Cotton on EastEnders. Richie, who famously played Alfie Moon on EastEnders and finished 4th on I’m a Celebrity Series 20, will also be part of the tour. Rounding out the group is Pasquale, who won I’m a Celebrity in 2004 and finished 6th on Dancing On Ice in 2013. Together, they will bring their own special take on the Rat Pack.
The tour promises plenty of laughs and music, with a 15-piece band backing them. The group share a close friendship and decades of experience in the entertainment world.

Bradley Walsh 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.”
The idea for the tour came after a one-off performance at the London Palladium in March 2023, which featured Walsh, his friends, and the Barry Robinson Big Band.
The four comedians all share a history in variety entertainment, with Walsh, Conley, and Richie working as Pontins Bluecoats in their early careers and Pasquale as a Warner’s Greencoat, before reaching the top of British television.
Walsh 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.”
Tickets for The Prat Pack tour go on sale at 10 am on Friday, November 29th.
