The Scotch comedians, from the music hall to television
Mackie, Albert,1904-1985.
Edinburgh, Ramsay Head Press
[1973]
Distinguishes the entertainers in the tradition of Harry Lauder from the character comedians such as Neil Kenyon and Will Fyffe and the sheer clowns such as Tommy Lorne and Tommy Morgan. There are appreciations of the straight actors who became comics and the comediennes, and the book concludes with a consideration of the elements included in Scottish humour.
