Dartford Warbler Bonzo & Dorris Why Funny? (34) RE: Bonzo & Dorris Why Funny? 19 Sep 06


I think we must all be realistic here. There are as many different tastes in humour as there are tastes in music. Also tastes do change. When I was 14 years old I watched the first showing of a new TV programme that was called 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. While I was in absolute convulsions on the living room floor, my dear Mother and Father looked on in astonishment wondering whether they should call a doctor. However, Spike Milligan and the Goons had the same affect on my Father. I never really derived any great pleasure from Morecombe and Wise hailed as one of the best TV comedy duos.

On the 'folk' circuit in the early days, I never found Vin Garbutt very entertaining or funny. However, that opinion has taken a complete turn around and now he is one of my favourite 'all round 'folk' acts.

I find Keith Donnelly's performances rib cracking but his act leaves my partner cold. However, we are both in stitches watching Sid Kipper or Les Barker.

It takes all sorts to make this world?
