Thread Name: comedians or folkies
Subject: RE: comedians or folkies
Vin Garbutt never fails to amaze me. Amidst his serious, moving and often controversial songs he has the audience in stiches with some very funny dialogue.

Mike Harding is still a good folk singer despite his Rochdale Cowboy phase and time presenting Folk on Two.

Comedians who sing folk songs? Prime example must be the Two Ronnnies! Russ Abbot did quite a bit as well though. And I believe Jack Dee dances Morris!

Comedian who can act - Bill Bailey.

Actor who does comedy - Ardal O'Hanlan (Or did he do stand up first?)

Hope this adds to whatever list is being made:-)

Cheers

Dave
