The origins of the term are found in Ancient Greece. In the Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was influenced by the political satire performed by the comic poets at the theaters. The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance which pits two groups or societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a "Society of Youth" and a "Society of the Old". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions that pose obstacles to his hopes. In this struggle, the youth is understood to be constrained by his lack of social authority, and is left with little choice but to take recourse in ruses which engender very dramatic irony which provokes laughter., Slapstick is a style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity which exceeds the boundaries of normal physical comedy. The term arises from a device developed during the broad, physical comedy style known as Commedia dell'arte in 16th Century Italy. The 'slap stick' consists of two thin slats of wood made from splitting a single long stick, which make a 'slap' when striking another actor, with little force needed to make a loud - and comical - sound., England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

Never quite in the front rank of British music hall comedians , he would appear dressed in a smart tuxedo , a bowler hat with a steel band around it , a rotating bow tie , and a stainless steel vest . Perhaps third on the bill , this may explain why he did not give up his day job at Crookes Endowed School , which he joined in 1922 after his demobilisation . That is until 1935 , when he moved to London to be nearer the BBC . His first stage appearance was at the Palace , Luton , in 1921 . His speciality was that during his intoned monologue , he would interrupt the flow by supplying the punctuation , thus : This is Stainless aimless brainless Stephen , semi-colon , broadcasting semi-conscious at the microphone semi-frantic . Closing a broadcast on 22 March 1941 , he said : And so , countrymen , semi-colon , all shoulders to the wheel , semi-quaver , we 'll carry on till we get the Axis semi-circle , and Hitler asks us for a full stop ! He is said to have based the idea during a radio course he took while on military service . Stainless Stephen appeared in Radio Parade ( 1933 ) , a film of ( then ) current music hall acts . He supported Will Hay at the Victoria Palace in 1944 , and appeared on the bill at the London Palladium 's Royal Command Performance in 1945 . As a postscript to his career Stainless Stephen appeared as a guest on Frost on Saturday on ITV on 15 November 1969 . This edition was dedicated to the history of British Broadcasting to mark the first evening of colour transmissions on ITV . In the show the comedian gave the television audience a sample of his somewhat unusual comedy routine . This programme survives intact in the ITV archives and is available on DVD . In his younger days , Baynes was a racing cyclist and continued to have an interest in cycling throughout his life . His cycle racing medals are on display in the Sheffield United FC Museum together with other Sharrow cycling club trophies .
