The first-ever joke book from one of the UK's best-loved comedians, "Les Dawson's Joke Book" is a must for any fan of this perennially popular comedian. It collects together the highlights of his 26-year career across radio and television, from his early days on "Opportunity Knocks" to "Cissie and Ada". A lover of language, Les was a secret poet and was fond of high culture, often undercutting his own admiration of the art forms for comic effect.
The book includes examples of all his most famous sketches, comic come-backs and stand-up routines. From working class roots to a comedian beloved by millions, "Les Dawson's Joke Book" is a celebration of Les' humour at its very best, compiled from his personal archive by his wife and daughter, it is the must-have for any fan.
