Forgotten Heroes of Comedy

An Encyclopedia of the Comedy Underdog

Robert Ross

Robert Ross asks why the fame of some comedians, such as Laurel and Hardy or Morecambe and Wise, has endured long after their deaths, while others, famous in their day, have been forgotten. This alphabetical survey of comedians from both sides of the Atlantic profiles more than 100 former household names, from Avril Angers, ‘the female Tony Hancock’, via Jimmy Edwards, Peter Glaze and Harry Worth to the anarchic Italian Mario Zampi.
