Remembering the old comedy routines. Dick Emery was a masterclass at jovial titillation.
It's good to look back on what was funny in 1973, lest we forget.
Richard Gilbert Emery was born 19 February 1915. His parents were the comedy double act Callan and Emery. They took him on tour when he was only three weeks old and gave him the occasional turn on the stage during his childhood. He was called up to the RAF and rose to the rank of corporal. On leaving the RAF, he returned to the theatre as a comedian. He had a very colourful personal life which you can read about here.
Now I'm off to Coffee Morning. Catching up with village chat.
