Jim Casey, Eli Woods and Roy Hudd - The Chipster

[@simongee8928]

Their 'look around each other' routine is a gem - ! 😅

[@jackthebassman1]

I agree, I showed this to a couple pals, they nearly wet themselves

[@nathelondon3719]

Classic, clean, British comedy. What are we left with?

[@hazelanderson1479]

Jo Brand and Frankie Boyle 🤦🏻‍♀😪😡.

Wonderful. Back in the seventies, our band backed Eli singing. We were booked for a company Christmas dinner dance at a hotel in Altrincham and Eli was the guest act. It wasn't easy😅

I've read this comment on several posts - what was it about Eli's singing that I don't know? I suppose I remember him only for the Box sketch

[@simongee8928]

@@Thursdaym2 Didn't you run through his intended routine first - ?

Classic clean sharp no smut just comedy

[@jillalexander3006]

I remember that series. I wonder if you have the episode I think from Scotland which featured the incomparable Billy Dainty doing one of his comedy ballet routines. Been looking for that sketch for years.

All great comedians gave much pleasure and no offence 😊

[@jackthebassman1]

Eli, was an absolute one off, very, very funny!

Fab.

[@theholygoat8826]

It's right what they say , you've either got it or you haven't , and the only one that had it on that stage was young Eli .

[@jillalexander3006]

I hear you but I know that sketch well. It looked effortless with good old Roy Castle holding the box but I think James Casey was rather thrown not getting the right cues at the right time which are key in making this sketch work. A stooge seems like a subservient role but the lack of a good one makes even the best of comics flounder. Roy Castle who usually did that role was a comedian, musician and dancer so his timing was exemplary. That's clearly lacking here. Seek out the Parkinson version from 1982 which is up here to see this sketch really work.

Hudd laughing throughout the whole thing doesnt help

[@ThaisChannel2023]
