Jimmy Cricket, the beloved Northern Irish comedian known for his bowler hat, wellington boots, and iconic catchphrase “and there’s more!”, has passed away at 80 after a brief illness. Celebrated for his decades of bringing laughter to TV audiences, comedy clubs, and fans everywhere, he died surrounded by love, music, and family — a fitting end for a man who lived to make people smile. His youngest son, Father Frankie Mulgrew, called him “a light” who loved life loudly, even requesting last rites twice as if asking for an encore. Married to May for 52 years, Jimmy was a silly grandad to four grandchildren and a trailblazer in comedy who rose from Butlins camps to starring roles on ITV. His funeral is today at Salford Cathedral — open to all who knew the joy he spread.
