Comedian Norman Collier who made us laugh with his quick fire humour, his chicken gag where he strutted around the stage and managed to transform his face to resemble a chicken and of course his broken microphone routine, where he pretended to have a broken mike and missed out parts of words to great comic effect has died peacefully aged 87.
If you watch this clip of him on You Tube I'll bet you laugh before it's finished.

I have no idea who he is, but maybe you should modify the heading as it does not make sense.

You must be younger than the rest of us, those of us who remember the Commedians TV programme will be very familiar with him although to be fair I cannot remember seeing him for some time. Watch the clip and see what you think.

I can remember seeing him in Blackpool when I was 10 years old (34 years ago) along with a very young looking Little and not so Large and being in hysterics. Very funny man!

Most of the comedians who were around on tv and at holiday resorts back in the 1970s were funny, unlike most of those who call themselves comedians nowadays and 'do stand up' as they like to call whatever it is that they do. It's certainly not comedy, that's for sure.
None of the present lot, with the possible exception of Peter Kay, would have lasted five minutes on the stage of the even smallest back street working mens club. The concert secretary would have 'paid them off, half fee' or given them their bus fare home in other words, yet somehow this present lot have managed to discredit the stuff that really made us all laugh.
They then replaced it with sneering sarcasm laced with the sort of filthy language that would have earned them a fat lip even in a public bar room, and the cheeky so and so's call the proper comedians of old 'offensive'!
It beggars belief when we see how low tv 'entertainment' has sunk.
