  • Summary

  • Frankie Howerd was a comedy performer whose unique style which endeared him to successive generations of fans who continued to rediscover him from the 1950s right through to the 1990s, his very British mix of innuendo and mock outrage delighting his followers everywhere from his Carry On film appearances to his celebrated comedic tour-de-force at the Oxford Union in a TV special. Joan Rivers was America's unrivalled First Lady of Comedy, a ground breaking and fearless pioneer for whom no subject was off limits and who could hold her own against successive generations of male comedians from Lenny Bruce to Chris Rock. Mark Wells and John Marley discuss and enjoy the comedy of Frankie and Joan, and assess their impact, influence and legacy.
