Forgotten Heroes of Comedy (Hardcover) [Buy it!] | Robert Ross | USD 43.49 (Tue May 28 20:09:56 2024) | Abebooks | Grand Eagle Retail | ISBN10: 1783529180, ISBN13: 9781783529186, [publisher: Unbound, London] Hardcover Hardcover. In this long overdue and affectionate salute, celebrated comedy historian Robert Ross pays tribute to some of the finest, funniest and most fascinating names in comedy from both sides of the Atlantic. Monty Pythons Terry Jones wrote the foreword.With the passionate input of such comics as Tim Brooke-Taylor, Hattie Hayridge, Roy Hudd, Michael Palin, Ross Noble, Chris Addison and Bernard Cribbins, Ross honours these legends of humor who, for a variety of reasons, didn't quite reach the heady heights of stardom or, once they had, couldn't cope with the pressures.Whether it is a favorite from the distant smoke- and ale-stained world of the Music Hall like the great George Robey, or the downbeat poetry of Hovis Presley, who dropped disenchanted bombs on the late 1990s, Forgotten Heroes of Comedy will finally elevate them to the Hall of Fame where they belong. Forgotten, no longer.JoeBakerUKEricBarkerUKAlfieBassUKMichaelBatesIndia (to English parents)DavidBattleyUKMichaelBentineUKHaroldBerensUKWilieBestUSAAlecBregonziUKMichaelWardUKDouglasByngUKMartiCaineUKEsmaCannonAustralia (but moved to UK)PatrickCargillUKJimmyClitheroeUKDannyRossUKBillyDaintyUKJanetDaviesUKFlorenceDesmondUKJerryDesmondeUKEddieLeslieUKMaidieDicksonUKCharlieDrakeUKJimmyEdwardsUKGusElenUKRayEllingtonUKDickEmeryUKPierreEtaixFranceBarryEvansUKMarioFabriziUKDougFisherUKRonaldFrankauUKLeslieFullerUKDustinGeeUKPeterGlazeUKTommyGodfreyUKHarryLockeUKKenGoodwinUKBernardGorceyRussia (died USA)BertGordonUSAMonsewer' EddieGrayUKRaymondGriffithUSADeryckGuylerUKBrianHallUKLloydHamiltonUSAArthurHaynesUKRichardHearneUKDickieHendersonUKGerardHoffnungGermany (died UK)ShempHowardUSANatJackleyUKRexJamesonUKSpikeJonesUSAJohnJunkinUKDaveKingUKRoyKinnearUKDennisKirklandUKPatsyKnoxUSADebbieLindenUKHughLloydUKMalcolmMcFeeUKMooreMarriottUKGrahamMoffattUKRayMartineUKZeppoMarxUSAGlennMelvynUKEricMerrimanUKChristopherMitchellUKAlbertModleyUKRobertMoretonUKGladysMorganUKLilyMorrisUKRichardMurdochUKTom E.MurrayUSADavidNixonUKLarryNobleUKOleOlsenUSAChicJohnsonUSAKenPlattUKSandyPowellUKVincePowellUKHovisPresleyUKCardewRobinsonUKJoe E.RossUSAPatsyRowlandsUKDerekRoyUKDerekRoyleUKLeslieSaronyUKLarrySemonUSARonaldShinerUKJohnnieSilverUSADennisSpicerUKLarryStephensUKJakeThackrayUKThelmaToddUSAJackTrainUKKarlValentinGermanyLieslKarlstadtGermanyNormanVaughanUKTomWallsUKRalphLynnUKElsie and DorisWatersUKRitaWebbUKJohnWellsUKGeorge and KennethWesternUKGordonWharmbyUKBertWheelerUSARobertWoolseyUSAAlbertWhelanAustralia (died UK)RobbWiltonUKMike and BernieWintersUKGeorgieWoodUKDollyHarmerUKHarryWorthUKMarioZampiItaly (died UK) Featuring a foreword by the late Terry Jones, this is the definitive survey of the twentieth centurys overlooked comic greats Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
