Biography
Leeds-born comedian and writer who started at London's famous Windmill Theatre telling jokes before the strippers came on (or rather, took off). He has written scripts and gags for virtually every major British comedian from the 1960s onwards, including Kenny Everett, Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, and Frankie Howerd.
Trivia
In Finland he had a No.1 record, Purple People Eater, for three weeks in 1958.
