- One of Dawson's finest, self-penned soliliquies, touching on wives, bank managers, childhood, bad luck, and his search for Wisdom from a wise man in Tibet.
From Sez Lez Series Ten, Episode Three (Yorkshire Televison, TX 3 Mar 1976)
This man was and still is an all time favorite of mine . He always makes me laugh
How many comedians actually makes one laugh out loud? Not many. Les delivers every time!
He was a sheer comic genius, wonderful wordsmith.
This man was a genius, poet and a consummate wordsmith.
Dearly missed , and something the world will never see again.
'scurvy, disease but eventually we reached Knutsford'.
genius
Les Dawson - I salute you - In my opinion there were only a few greats - Kenneth Williams, Les Dawson, Peter Cook, Frankie Howerd, Eric Morcambe & Ken Dodd
Tony Hancock
Freddie star ?
Marty Feldman... He Wrote for Kennith Williams
Benny Hill?
Kenny Everett?
Dick Emery?
Russ Abbott?
Stanley Baxter?
Max Wall?
Tommy Cooper?
How many comedians can make you cry with laughter today?
None
Quite a few, e.g. Lee Mack, David Mitchell, Lee Evans, Michael McIntyre...
@@hometruths9411 Michael McIntyre? Give me strength 🙄
David Mitchell🙄give ke strength.
"Where would we be without a laugh? Right here!" Les Dawson on The Good Old Days :)
Les was a genius. A brilliant wordsmith. A very funny man sadly missed. Rest in peace Les.
Clearly one of the best of the time, because it’s ageing quite well. I can see some of Bill Bailey’s borrowings from this guy.
This man was good, next to Tommy Cooper, Ken Dodd and Eric Morecamb...all great and funny men
Hinge and bracket
Morecombe and wise
Miss him ❤
My mother was so short-sighted, as a baby, she used to put the talcum powder on my face. I shudder to think what she did with the dummy 😂😂
Shows ya. This was showing how Frank sinatra was. Thats the laugh. I clocked it. Brilliant from les 👏
did you know that the first thing john cleese did post python was with les dawson? says a slot about how respected and admired he was :)
Love les damsons dry wit
Agreed...all rounders..in their own styles..
When you could be funny without being offensive.... True genius... Sorely missed...
I think his singing was very good. I have heard worse. I think he should of done one good song every show. I wish I had found him before he died. He was great!!!!!!!!!! george
3 people got frostbite up the Khyber...
Pity we only see a circle going round and round!
LD . . . ever superb . . . . but the piano killed this one for me.
Alan Partridge made me cry with laughter last night. Alpha Papa - brilliant.
I appreciate Cooper's greatest, but he's very hit and miss for me - but there's no doubting his comic genius.
Where are his mother-in-law jokes?
"My mother-in-law was a hard woman, a hard, hard woman.
She was thrown out of the SS.... for cruelty."
"I shouldn't laugh... She's had a bad back and lost her job.... She was harpooner on a whaler."
Whos the pianist
Not sure, but with Les in focus in the foreground, and him constantly in the background like forced perspective shots it seems like he's only about a foot tall!
Get the subtitles right...or a hearing aid....funny les
Tommy Cooper
Shame about the piano volume
I thought the piano volume unobtrusive, for me it was the rapid rate of Les' verbal delivery. I need a script to read when listening to him.
The one joke I can't figure out is the 'collateral' one - anyone explain it to me?
+Christopher Nichols "Collateral" in terms of finance is having a property you own which a bank can take from you if you do not repay the loan you borrowed from them. Les's joke is that he thought it meant about his appearance.
'Collateral ' sounds like it could be a medical condition- just double entendre word play
I don't understand anything, and as I was thinking I must be hearing impaired or worse, stupid, I turn on the subtitles and get total restitution; youtube doesn't get it either =)
Good, but you need to know VICTOR BORGE !
Miles better than that prat Michael macintyre
Les loved is wife and no doubt he was the only love in her life.
Which one ?
Piss funny ❤😂
