In the Music Hall days there was a performer called Sam Mayo who was billed "The Immobile One". Dressed in a brown dressing gown he would sit at a piano or stand facing his audience totally expressionless and deliver his songs and patter in a very similar way to this. His songs were also far removed from the traditional music hall ethos stuff as well. Check out "Sam Mayo Things are worse in Russia" which dates from 1922.
I've not got all the details but I think its from a one off show called '20 years on...'(?), aired in 1985 and presented by David Frost. The piece is actually called Prejudice not Macism! Sry.
