...Comedy acts/comedians should always be remembered?
Laurel and Hardy
Charlie Chaplain
Abbot and Costello
Lenny Bruce
Bill Hicks
Emo Philips, just to use a few examples.
Who would you like to see remembered and introduced to the younger generations? |

I always thought Brian Conley was a terrific all round entertainer but he seems to have disappeared from television. He still does panto and musicals but I wish they'd bring him back on mainstream tv again. |

Love the comment by Graucho when asked to join the Variety Club:
"I wouldn't wish to belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member" |
