Description
Eric Morecambe & Ernie Wise: Their Early Years as Variety Entertainers The story of Eric and Ernie's early years as variety entertainers is finally being told. For a quarter of a century, from the 1940s to the late 1960s, they were a live act first and foremost, playing pantomime and summer season shows in variety theatres and seaside piers. Their record-breaking Christmas shows were a secret homage to that forgotten world, where they served their showbiz apprenticeship alongside other acts. This book is based on the reminiscences of those who knew them as a live act, including Ken Dodd, Bruce Forsyth, Michael Grade, Ernest Maxin, and John Ammonds. New insights into the era that made Eric and Ernie such a special part of our national culture are revealed in this unique biography.
