Corrie's Comedians

[Rod Serling]

Coronation Street seems to have a glut of professional stand-up comedians at the moment, with Craig Charles, Roy Hudd and Bradley Walsh all regulars in the current shows. I know the actress who plays Shelley does stand-up, and Jack Duckworth (Bill Tarmey) is a professional singer in clubs. Any others?

Betty (Rovers Return), used to be a singer with the well known dance band Henry Hall, before my time I hasten to add!

Forgot to add, Rita used to sing in clubs too (not just in Corrie storyline).

..the actress who played Fizz started off as a stand up comedian in working men's clubs, and debora thingy who plays Dannys ex wife started off doing impressions of cilla black and other singers in comedy stand ups before she did bad girls....
