Description
Comedy hero himself Eric Sykes has assembled his own pantheon of the people he believes to be the funniest ever. From the silent-era slapstick of Buster Keaton and Laurel & Hardy to the refined humour of Victoria Wood, via many of Sykes’ personal chums and colleagues like Harry Secombe, Jimmy Edwards and Terry-Thomas, the author presents the case for British comedy to be the best in the world (although he does include Frenchman Jaques Tati as well, along with a few Americans). As Sykes puts it himself, “With the great comics, you laugh at the whole person, and not at their jokes, that’s why some of them are so miserable.” This large-format paperback is in very good condition.
