I saw him at Blackpool at the age of 16 and nearly wet myself with laughing. I saw him again - 35 years later in Horsham - with the same effect. Laughed until I cried.

Luckily, we went to the first house of the Horsham gig. As we came out, at around 10.30pm, the second house audience was waiting to go in...

A unique entertainer.
