TVIFF 2026 presents An Evening with Ricky Tomlinson. A genuine legend of British film and TV, Ricky came to the nation’s attention on classic Liverpool based soap opera Brookside.
From there, memorable performances in Cracker, Mike Bassett: England Manager and of course, the legendary character Jim Royle in The Royle Family.
Ricky’s acting career blossomed from a hard life working on the Liverpool docks. A life that led him to fight for the rights of his fellow workers, a fight that ultimately led to an unjust prison sentence that was later overturned. He promises to tell all about the highs and lows of a life well lived.
Staged in the 100 capacity studio theatre, the intimate, hilarious and fascinating conversation will end with an audience Q&A, so you’ll also be able to ask your own questions to the man himself: Ricky Tomlinson, a true national treasure.
