Tommy Cooper Statue

Battered and bruised after a heavy night, having been floored by storm Arwen but all's well after being put back in place, ligts in action too....

Deserving memory to a simple comic genius.

Brilliant statue of the funniest man that ever lived, what made it even better was the fantastic view of the castle from the statue, well worth a visit if you are ever in Caerphilly

A well maintained statue of a comedy genius. I still remember being in my bedroom watching the tv when he collapsed on stage. There are some seats to the right of the statue with the furthest one having a plaque to Sir Anthony Hopkins.

This is the statue of Thomas Frederick Cooper who was an amazing Welsh prop comedian and magician,he was a giant of a man standing six feet four inches......His trade mark was his red Fez hat and his well known catch phrase was- JUST LIKE THAT-......He was a brilliant comedian and magician being a member of the magic circle and it was so clever how he made us all laugh by making most of his tricks go terribly wrong It was so funny to watch..........He was born in the Welsh town of Caerphilly on the 19th March 1921.....He was married to his wife Gwen Cooper from 1947 to 1984 and had two children Thomas Henty and Vicky Cooper......He sadly passed away in London on the 15th of April 1984 on stage during one of his acts aged just 63.......You will never get another like him he was one of a kind,and is sadly missed by all that watch him perform on the TV....God bless Tommy RIP....🙏
