The British music hall was unique. There was nothing quite like it anywhere - neither Berlin cabaret nor American burlesque spawned such an extraordinary collection of eccentric, memorable performers. This book is a feast for enthusiasts, bringing back memories of the sublime Mrs Shufflewick and the celestial Jimmy James, and also some great clowns within living memory - Tommy Cooper at the head of them. Roy Hudd's personal reminiscences make this a valuable piece of theatre history. (Kirkus UK)
