comedy monologue

[neil.harris]

Who was the comedian who related tales of Sir Walter Raleigh bringing tobacco & potatoes to Queen Elizabeth, & the injured worker getting bricks down from the scaffold?

[Cetti]

The brilliant Bob Newhart! I had all these on tape once, then stupidly gave them away - I don't believe they are available any more.

[xyzzyplugh]

available on winmx :-)

[Worker]

Yes, Bob Newhart and the bricks and scaffold one is Gerard Hoffnung. I have them both if we can find a way of getting them to you. I think Bob Newhart is still available on CD. I bought one from the States a year or two back.

[Worker]

. . . and Cetti, I have quite a few Bob Newhart which you can have, again if I can get them to you.

[Cetti]

Yes, you're right Worker, the bricks was Gerard Hoffnung. Thank you for your kind offer, but my hubby is threatening to take me to Niagara on holiday, so hopefully I can pick some up there.
