If laughter really is the best medicine, there's enough of it on these discs to empty every hospital in the country. The comedians featured on Vintage British Comedy are acknowledged doyens of their profession, the original Lords and Ladies of laughter. The fact that their comedy is 'British' means uniquely honed whit, impeccable timing and the sharpest powers of observation all polished to perfection in what is probably the most accomplished school of laughter in the world. Each artist featured is a legend in his or her own right, an accepted pillar of the comedic calling whose work survives as an essential step in building the Great British Comedy tradition.

Listen. And giggle, chortle, shriek, hoot, chuckle, crow, cackle, snigger, snicker, titter and whoop away.

Featuring:

Frankie Howerd, Gracie Fields, John Tilley, Tommy Handley, Max Miller, Robb Wilson, Horace Kenney, Noel Coward, Vernon Watson, Ronauld Frankau, Elsie & Doris Waters, Billy Bennett, Arthur Askey, George Formby, Tommy Trinder and many more.
