Forgotten Heroes of Comedy, Quay, Sudbury, 7th September 2018
The Golden Age of Television was blessed with some of the best-loved of comedians, but why are Eric & Ernie and Tommy Cooper and Frankie Howerd so fondly remembered, while Arthur Haynes and Charlie Drake and Harry Worth languish in the archives?
These and other once celebrated stars, from the silent days of Hollywood to the comedy club boom, at last come under the spotlight in this affectionate tribute by comedy historian Robert Ross. Expect laughs from the most obscure corners of comedy history and hilarious rare clips from the vaults.
These are the forgotten heroes of comedy...forgotten no longer.
"Robert is a fine writer, an invaluable comedy historian and an all round good chap."
Bill Oddie OBE
"A writer who clearly knows, and loves, what he's writing about."
The Hampstead & Highgate Express
Britain's foremost comedy historian, Robert Ross has written a library of books on the history of comedy, including The Carry On Story, The Goodies Rule OK, Sid James: Cockney Rebel, and Benny Hill: Merry Master of Mirth. His dozens of television appearances range from Blue Peter to The One Show.
