The 2013 Royal Variety Performance was on November 25th (at the London Palladium) and was broadcast by ITV on December 9th. Despite what the brochure says (at the link above) this was Jimmy’s 4th show.
The charity fundraiser is in aid of Brinsworth House, which is a residential and nursing care home for people that have worked in the entertainment industry. Or, as Jimmy quipped, “Christmas future”.
