Super barber

[pauland]

There was a story on the BBC News website about a Gentlemans Barber who had rubbed up the local council the wrong way. It's not that exciting, but I loved the shot they took of the Barbers "before" and "after" samples. Made me smile..

(our non-UK friends might not know the man on the left - he's a legendary old-school comedian in the UK, who has even had No1 hits in the 1960's)

Donald Trump might have been a better Before.

Funny stuff , Who is the comedian? I don't know him but sure is funny looking

It's Ken Dodd. He is very old-school, he had huge success in the sixties and has toured ever since (he's now 84). He is famous for having very long live shows and basically sings (he has an excellent voice), tells jokes and does a ventriloquism act.

He's a british institution and comes from Knotty Ash (Liverpool). His humour is very British, traditional, clean and family orientated. Virtually everyone born in the UK will know who he is.

I'm not sure that his humour travels well and he has a thick accent, but here's a fun joke of his, audio isn't that great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHihHjJ4X80

Thanks Paul , very funny, I will have to watch some more of his videos. 3 legged chicken The only British humor i have seen before was from watching PBS, public broadcasting stations here in Arizona they used to show Monty Python and my other favorite was Benny Hill.
