My favourite of his

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Of all the "Oh I wish I'd seen...", and there are many when you get to my age (amiright NSC?), I did get to see this lovely fella in the early 90s. Small-ish in-the-round venue, just him on a slowly revolving stage and a little table and a telephone. I remember very little but the memory of joy and awestruckness remains.

Very very funny guy. RIP.

 

[Brovion]

Yes, very old but I'm still sad. He was one of a kind and unlike a lot of his contemporaries his stuff from the sixties is still funny today. (Ditto his compatriot from that same era, Stan Freberg). Last performances of him I saw was as 'Professor Proton' in The Big Bang Theory.

No matter how often you hear these things, you don’t tire of them…. Or I don’t, anyway

 

[Norman Potting]

Very clever and funny, did have an LP "best of of his. His act was basically talking to himself and I can't avoid a smile ....particularly the "......you put it in your mouth and set light to it.!."...

Loved the infinite number of monkeys sketch. "To be or not to be that is the gzarnenplad"

Loved his sitcom and then his glorious cameo as Professor Proton in BBT. Very sad, a great American comedian.
