[Humour] 80's Comedy Duo's

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Shall l kick off?

Hale and Pace anyone?

Hale & Pace were quite a lot more cutting edge than they get credit for these days. They did a lot of stuff on prime time TV which stepped over previous boundaries. People also forget that they were from the same comedy clubs as Harry Enfield and co but were the first to get a mainstream TV series.

Saw them live at the Worthing Pavilion when they were getting well know and it was a very well crafted show. Got to meet them in a local pub before the gig where they were enjoying a pre-show drink.

[Comrade Sam]

The Dangerous Brothers!

 

[Weststander]

Smith and Jones were brilliant.

Couldn’t stand all the others on the list.

 

[OzMike]

Alas Smith and Jones for me, though Hale and Pace a close second.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hampton & Richmond

I'm genuinely interested to know your opinion on the Four Candles sketch.

.....and the Little brown bird monologue.

Agree the Two Ronnies was patchy, even at the time, but it could also be brilliant.

Does anyone remember when Hale & Pace had a huge number 1 hit with the stonk

I cannot BELIEVE Les Dennis and Dustin Gee haven't even been mentioned on this thread.

What has become of us ?

I was thinking the same, Easy. Genuinely gobsmacked at Crodo omitting this pair. What even IS comedy without Les's incredible and Mavis from Coronation Street impression?

I am privileged to say I saw them live at the North Pier in Blackpool on a piss up trip after I’d done my A Levels. And yes, they did the Mavis and Vera double act.

They were supported by Vince Hill. A truly amazing evening I’ve never forgotten....

You didn't finish the title of the thread. Don't keep us all in suspense. 80's comedy duo's... what?

A Saturday tea-time TREAT for fans of 80s comedy.

Join comedy impressionists Les Dennis and Dustin Gee for the pilot of ‘The Laughter Show’ with special guests Roy Jay, Caroline Dennis, Hale and Pace and Matvienko.

Don't think this was ever broadcast...

 

[The Clamp]

At the time I liked Hale and Pace. They are of course, terrible.

Smith and Jones are the only vaguely funny people on that list.

So I voted Hale and Pace because I liked them at the time. I wouldn’t give them the time of day now.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hale and Pace were of course crap. Apart from of course that sketch where they're staying as guests of a Swedish family. Generous hosts: "Please. Take the Volvo. You can crash it. It's perfectly safe"

In an assortment of guises, the correct answer has to be Rik Mayal and Ade Edmunson.
