He sad: “it is really great to bring variety back to the Spa again.
“We were really pleased with how our first show went, in February and we had close to 600 people along, which was very good.
“So we decided to do another one, and again the tickets are selling well, with the help of advertising in the Ipswich Star, of course.
“We have clubs and coach parties coming along, some quite large parties. That is really pleasing.
“We are talking to the Spa about doing some more shows next year, and not just music hall. Watch this space!
The matinee performance was proving popular with a wide range of groups, including older peope, he said.
“The show stars `Mr Ukelele’ Andy Eastwood, Miss Soprano & Mr Pickle, Mr Stephen Bayfield and Ipswich comedy legend Ron Markwell. All hosted by your most worthy chairman Leo Shavers, and accompanied by the David Carter Pavilion Orchestra,” he said.
