Larry Lamb v Larry The Lamb
Wednesday 6th January 2010, 9:23AM GMT.
He is one of the most popular faces on the telly, the other is a children’s favourite from the 1970s — but it seems the people of Telford don’t know one from the other.
Actor Larry Lamb – better known as Machiavellian Archie Mitchell in EastEnders and much-loved father Mick in Gavin and Stacey – is planning to perform at Oakengates Theatre @ The Place on February 16.
But theatregoers have been bombarding the box office with inquiries about children’s character Larry the Lamb.
“Promoters are now concerned that confusion surrounding the actor’s name may lead to some people missing out.
Maria Smallcombe, marketing manager at Oakengates Theatre, said: “We’ve had a number of inquiries about this show, but some people aren’t quite sure what they’ll be seeing.
“We’ve had inquiries from people who think Larry the Lamb is playing a show for kids. It’s been a bit confusing.
“So we’d like to make it clear that it’s Larry Lamb, the actor who played Archie Mitchell in EastEnders and Mick in Gavin and Stacey.”

Gutted. Was looking forwards to seeing Larry THE Lamb. They’d probably sell more tickets for the sheep too.
