Publisher's Synopsis

From the Industrial Revolution through to our own comfortable, 21st-century digital age, Northern-born comedians have consistently been at the heart of British comedy culture. This witty and informative book questions why that should be so, examining a range of performers such as Les Dawson, Ken Dodd and the League of Gentlemen.
