A former EastEnders star is set to make a showbiz comeback after being out of the spotlight since January. Actor Bobby Davro, famed for playing Vinnie Monks in the BBC One soap, suffered a terrifying health scare at the start of the year and has been recovering at home over the past four months following a hospital stay.
Bobby, 65, is now ready to return to the spotlight and will be taking to the stage with a new comedy set at the Edinburgh Fringe.The show, titled Everything Is Funny If You Can Laugh At It, is scheduled to run from 2 August until 25 August, according to The Sun. "With the laughter still ringing in my ears from the couple of Edinburgh gigs I did last Summer, I thought I'd come back and do the full run this year.
I hope to prove two things – you're never too old for a good gag and everything is funny if you can laugh at it. "So if you like to laugh, come along - and don't forget, if you're on the frontline, you're in the punchline!
See you in August!'" Bobby said. The 65 year old actor suffered a minor stroke after fainting at a comedy show in January. He has admitted the health scare was a "wake up call" as doctors informed him his blood pressure was dangerously high and the stroke left him slurring.
