    How beautiful is this sketch. Shirley's struggle to not laugh out loud just adds so much to audience engagement and participation. We were spoilt for comedy talent back then.

      Shirley is a true diva yet she doesn’t have airs and graces. She is truly The Girl from Tiger Bay, never forget you roots because it will come back to bite. She was the same with Eric and Ernie, the Wellington boots sketch had me on the deck😂😂😂👍❤️

      Women aren't usually offended if a joke is genuinely funny & witty whilst done with a knowing nudge and wink, from my experience.
      You can be bawdy and even provocative if it's done without malice and the lady is in on the joke.
      Be clever, playful and joyous and women are as good a sport as a man is.
      Women are only offended if a bloke is an unfunny vindictive and ladish tw@t.

    The master at work. Shirley just creasing up with laughter........like the rest of us. Nothing around like Les today. The best of the best. And, 28 years after his death, in 2021 still the best. Nobody can come even close to matching Les's abilities in writing, humor, and music. His timing alone could leave the so called comedians of today standing, and without smut, bad language, or insult. More than just talented. More than just funny. A true genius and a legend. The peoples comedian, loved then by us all, and still loved and treasured today. No wonder that Les was so morose. His whole life had been one heck of a roller coaster of failure until he came on Opportunity Knocks. Thank goodness his wife Meg put him in for that. Thank goodness Les was found. RIP Les, Meg, and Roy. The angels are now amused.

      I think you've hit the nail on the head there - back then rules were stricter so people had to use innuendo to get round things. The Carry on films were perfect proof of that.
      Has relaxing the rules made things any funnier? No, I think it's got worse.

    Two legends in one clip ......... The story is, at the begining Les was doing the night clubs with little success, feeling down he had a bit to drink and went on stage and started playing the piano drunk. He started playing wrong and the audience laughed so hard, he then realised that was his ticket to success. Combined with his brilliant wit no other comedian would ever reach his level. I miss him ............

      A lot of holidays are based on religious festivals and observances ( xmas, easter, saints days etc.) a strict atheist would lose out on the holidays due to not observing them. I hope that helps Giuseppe.
