The Ukulele Man is the untold story of wartime comedian and ukulele legend George Formby!

From the music halls of Blackpool to the battlefields of Europe, this is the true story of Britain’s greatest entertainer!

He was banned by the BBC, declared insane by his wife, and still became the UK’s biggest star!

Join Marcel Cole and his real life mother Katie as they take you back to an era when live entertainment was king, and pay homage to the greatest performer of them all.
