No More Curried Eggs for Me by Roger Wilmut

Classic comedy sketches gathered for another helping of laughter

Good Condition - surface rubbing and scuffs. Upper spine corner is torn and frayed with board exposed, and lower corners and spine ends are worn. Pages appear generally clean.

Roger Wilmut brings together comedy sketches from film, television, radio and recordings in an anthology celebrating the pleasure of a perfectly timed exchange. The selection spans performers and programmes including Rowan Atkinson, Beyond the Fringe, Cleese and Feldman, Dud and Pete, Fawlty Towers, The Frost Report, the Goons, Tony Hancock, the Marx Brothers, Monty Python, Morecambe and Wise, and Steptoe and Son. On the page, familiar routines invite readers to rediscover the wordplay, escalating misunderstandings and absurd situations that made them memorable. The variety also offers a chance to compare different comic voices and the styles of their eras. Compiled by a writer with a sustained interest in comedy history, this collection makes a lively browsing book for enthusiasts of classic screen and broadcast humour.
