I have mentioned this before but Stan Laurel WAS British Music Hall and I found that my childhood Laurel and Hardy viewing meant I was actually familiar with many of the classic acts.
Lupino Lane, another Music Haller in Hollywood, played multiple drag roles in ONLY ME.

Your yearly reminder that it’s almost time to prepare the prune Krampus
Forget cheese and pineapple hedgehog, every party needs an edible Krampus. Especially knowing how much children love prunes.

Established in my brain as a nipper that Frank Windsor is a texture, a substance, a flavour etc. The name goes perfectly with the sound of his voice and all the things they evoke: battenburg, Norwich, oxtail soup, petrol stations, driving gloves

A little loose ten minute battleaxe drawing, from the imagination but unintended, it’s almost identical to my paternal grandmother who was an absolute gin gimlet of camp, costume jewellery & spiky, snippy snobberies who lived in a sort of Soane’s museum of Crying Boys, china kittens & flamenco dolls

Last night's dream: Found myself playing keyboard live on stage with PJ Harvey. It was the Peej of Rid of Me and she had her guitar on a table. Last number of the night, 1 huge riff repeated over and over, crowd went wild. I had a chat with the lady in the foyer afterwards and she flicked my ears.
