Synopsis: | A look at the life of comic genius, Dan Leno, the greatest Music Hall star of all time. The first stand-up comic, the best-loved pantomime dame and the world champion clog dancer with a strong line in character-based skits& Dan Leno was, quite simply, the comic genius of his age. Leno blazed a trail long before Ronnie Barker's monologues, Les Dawson's wordplays or even Chaplin's struggling little tramp. Years on his work is recognised as laying the foundations of contemporary British comedy. With live musical accompaniment this one man show is a silly and energetic romp through entertainment history, bringing the Nineteenth Century showman to life. | |||||
