Actor Larry Lamb - better known as Machiavellian Archie Mitchell in EastEnders and much-loved father Mick in Gavin and Stacey - is planning to perform at Oakengates Theatre @ The Place on February 16.
But theatregoers have been bombarding the box office with inquiries about children's character Larry the Lamb.
Maria Smallcombe, marketing manager at Oakengates Theatre, said: "We've had a number of inquiries about this show, but some people aren't quite sure what they'll be seeing.
"We've had inquiries from people who think Larry the Lamb is playing a show for kids. It's been a bit confusing.
"So we'd like to make it clear that it's Larry Lamb, the actor who played Archie Mitchell in EastEnders and Mick in Gavin and Stacey."
