Man I dont care what your reacting to, as long as it tickles you, your laugh is pure contagious!

[@moirabaker458]

I agree.... once he starts it sets me right off!

[@zenadavis6069]

I know right!? 😂😂

[@traceycoombes1268]

Yes looks like a bull dog, a bull dog chewing a wasp. As I say. 😂

[@belperite]

I'm glad you caught Les' unscripted pissing himself laughing at Roy's "cream lagoon" line 😂

[@muddlepond]

I love how you love it. This is what you call comedy, no swearing, no cussing, just pure comedy.

[@jasonc5413]

Les was a national treasure. Still loved today.

[@josephturner7569]

When they say something silently it's called mouthing. A communication technique learned in the mills because of the noise. Kind of like lip reading.

[@zenadavis6069]

Yep, my grandma Iris did this. She worked in the Oldham cotton mills 😊

[@32446]

It was called ‘Mee Maw’. All my family were Lancashire cotton mill workers.

[@bwilson5401]

Learn something new.

[@MarekNah]

"...drifted down the aisle like an Alp..."😂

[@juneseghni]

My nan wore those pink bloomers. She called them ETB's (elastic top and bottom). In fact these two resemble real life relatives of mine as they looked in the 70s/80s

[@highpath4776]

Harvest Festivals

[@suepoole8323]

Classic comedy, they made 2 great old women, from day's long passed 50's 60' style Old British women, my granny was like one of these two.. thanks. Love from UK as always... Oh and it is said A da.. Ay Da.. Old fashioned name, my head teacher way back in the 60's was a Miss Ada Morris...

[@stephenjohnson9560]

The sketch he did with Shirley Bassey was brilliant.

[@dantemedici8179]

Love Cissie and Aida ❤❤❤ my dad was often the Panto Dame at Christmas and would base his drag on Les Dawson lol

[@sapphirecrystalhealer88]

Love Cissie and Ada, still hilarious after all these years! I laughed till I cried. 😂😂😂

[@maudeboggins9834]

The race horse L'escargot won the Grand National in 1975. For the record Red Rum came 2nd.

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 When they start laughing when doing a sketch it's called "corpesing".😅

[@zenadavis6069]

Loved your reaction. Ada and Cissie are a celebration of a generation of northern lasses who are gone now. Ada reminds me so much my Grandma Ivy ❤️

[@williamhunter8612]

Give Cissie & Ada at the art gallery a go. You'll crease up with Laughter 🤣

[@emmahowells8334]

Cissie and Aida always loved these sketches, absolutely hilarious. 😂😂👌

[@martindunstan8043]

EB👍just love the Cissie and Ada routines especially when they corpse each other and it becomes an ad lib free for all🤣🤣awesome family fun with cheeky undertones for the adults,brilliant,thanks mate✌️

[@jeanlongsden1696]

EB "I have a bit of catching up" me "you sure do" like every single comedy show and comedian from 1970 up to around 1985, which was the golden era for British comedy on TV. people use to stay in to watch shows on a Friday/Saturday evening before heading out to party.

[@spritbong5285]

Roy Barraclough was Les Dawson's Ronnie Corbett. Great comedy.

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

Les and Roy would quite often put in words off script so it would set the other off, wonderful duo God Bless them.🙏

[@alfiekelly5914]

Great reaction. Les wasn't just a naturally funny man, but an absolute gentleman as well. And his piano routines still make my sides hurt!

[@graemejones218]

Anything Les Dawson played on the piano is superb. (PS: Must add that there's a sketch by Monty Python called "The Brain Specialist." It's a classic.)

[@gordonhayward4409]

Saw Les at Bridlington when I was a nipper, Roy Baraclough sat next to me in character, it was part of the sketch (skit to you). before commencing the routine. Bloody brilliant.

[@andywrong3247]

Alan as a kid I loved watching sissy & ada they had me howling with laughter its not really a drag act they did quite a few strangely some would bring tears to your eyes I don't if that was with pure joy or empathy. I'll have to go into playlist & find the previous one.i believe this format first was with Norman Evans over the garden wall.when women worked in the Mills the loud machines you couldn't have a proper conversation they would learn to lip read,les & roy would work it into their act especially when talking women's problems down stairs or husband burt sex talk.look forward to more.

[@christopherbarnett6098]

I cannot look at Les Dawsons face without breaking up. He had what's called "funny bones". Cissy & Ada are & always have been my favourite characters. Les & Roy Barraclough were brilliant together. The characters were based on real women. The factories were so noisy that the women who worked in them had to exaggerate their gestures & words to be understood. Fucking brilliant.

[@highpath4776]

Less Funny, more broken ( was a boxer for a while )

[@christopherbarnett6098]

​​@@highpath4776That rings a bell matey. Hi ya. Wasn't Les a boxer in his day? I know he was brilliant, classicly trained pianist. That was how he was able to play the piano so fucking terribly. Remember him doing that? I've never had a very high opinion of this Internet thingy. But if it means that more people get to enjoy Les Dawson & such like. Well. It might be useful for something other than Porn. Lol. Peace out.

[@ead9726]

A number of years ago, hubby and I were waiting for our flight back to Glasgow from Jersey, whilst waiting I listened and watched Cissy and Ada on my iPad, the couple behind us said to me”are you watching Cissy and Ada? Don’t miss your flight” 😂 I had the sound way down but they saw my shoulders shaking with laugher 😂

[@charlesfrancis6894]

I used to watch the Les Dawson show regular but missed this somehow .Thanks for showing.

[@maudeboggins9834]

I loved the 1971 show with Dame Shirley Bassey. She was such fun, she made herself look silly & was all the more endearing for it. She is standing by his piano & he says "I told you to wait in the truck". She is wearing a gorgeous outfit.

[@HeyItsMeScott]

The reason i think we love you so much is because we (obviously) watch along with you and we literally laugh together. You just get it lol.

[@himarkburdett9378]

They remind me of two old ladies at my local bus stop

[@highpath4776]

Last of The Summer Wine - if you can find them all - gradually became more and more verbal sketches - the men in Sid's Cafe, the ladies taking afternoon tea in one of the houses parlours.

[@eamonnclabby7067]

A Polish Count...who really came from Bootle...hanging on till after the wedding..brill...😅😅😅

[@eldoofthe3rd]

Like a lot of people I'm just happy to see and hear you laugh the world needs it right about now

[@francis2811]

This is the best of the Cissie & Aida sketches!

[@anitahargreaves9526]

I really need a laugh, tooth ache using Clove Oil as UK dental appointment rare. Thank you for sharing this ❤👵

[@lindamerrett6600]

Thank you , loved your reaction.🇬🇧

[@smeghead135]

They used to corpse each other all the time.

[@hbox21]

you missed the double-entendre "Florence cream lagoon"

[@stevew585]

Les Dawson, UK treasure, absolute legend!

[@AngryBana]

Again that’s why the Brits are the kings of comedy

[@eamonnclabby7067]

Cissy and Ada...top notch...well done for sharing...cheers...E..😊😊

[@rayfairley6515]

It wasn’t his stockings it was his knickers he got the drink from

[@misolgit69]

it's Roy Barraclough's facial expressions that help carry it

[@highpath4776]

Roy Barraclough - later to be in Coronation Street. One of the good "straight" men in the comedy duos but still got the laughs playing it straight.

[@zenadavis6069]

Your laugh after ‘baby was born with a broken arm It was hanging on until after the wedding’ 😂😂

[@cheryltotheg2880]

You have the best laugh ever you make me laugh at stuff I wouldn’t normally laugh at. Their skinny legs 😂😂😂

[@sandrabutler8483]

Les would always go off script especially with Roy, his hand wasn't supposed to go into the cake, whether it's Sir Tom Jones, Dame Shirley Bassey and many others he'd always try and throw them. There was something on quite recently which you see his second wife Tracy and daughter, The Audience With Which Never Was, as he passed suddenly actually waiting to see his consultant at the hospital with his wife, he asked her to go and get a coffee and newspaper, by the time she got back he was gone

[@highpath4776]

I think Les Dawson referred to his face (or his mother-in-laws) expression as a Bulldog Chewing a Wasp

[@robertgrant4987]

If you run dry of series ideas... Try "The Good Life' or 'On The Busses' or 'Love Thy Neighbour'. You're welcome 😊

[@stevensmith204]

I get as much pleasure watching EB, as I do the comedy, your a diamond !

[@MichaelHill-we7vt]

exactly!! whatever it is ... your laughter just cracks me up.... it's so contagious, I HAVE to laugh along with you.... brilliant!

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Alan, It would take 2 hours to make a Cissie and Ada sketch because Roy Barrowclough couldn't stop laughing, pure British comedy at its finest, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

[@paulwright9749]

His main influences for this particular act were the women of Manchester that he observed in his childhood and of course his childhood comedic hero Norman Evans who played Fanny Lawton, the gossip in Over the Garden Wall. You can see his act on KZbin - great 1950s British comedy 😅

[@Simon-wi3dk]

Way ahead of their time .

[@eddiebest1951]

Thanks for this Alan got tears running down my face 😂😂😂

[@geordiehowayman1677]

Keep em coming , fantastic you love British humour

[@vallee3140]

Got to say Alan you are my favourite youtuber, although not when you shaved the beard off, thank goodness you grew it back,and your laugh is wonderful.

[@keepitreal665]

I love that you love our humour.We grew up with this on our black and white telly ( t.v)

[@angelagardner5230]

a bulldog swallowing a wasp

[@ead9726]

Not sure how true, but apparently Les and Roy would pretend to be two ladies talking whilst they sat around between rehearsals, and then it was decided to put them into their sketches. 💕😂

[@onlyme972]

A real oldie you'd love is Watch ""The Specialist" by Bernard Miles"

[@MikeEvans-d2y]

Got a good one for you Alan , it’s a film called Kevin and Perry go large , it’s harry enfield as Kevin and Kathy Burke as Perry , it’s hilarious , you’ll love it .

[@chocolate-teapot]

The boob fixing by Les Gaha

[@alisonrodger3360]

The often* do bits where they don't actually say anything but make a face & mouth the words. This a combination of 'not in front of the children' & when women worked in loud Mills and you could barely hear yourself think never mind speak. (* not so much in this sketch but a lot of the others)

[@madabbafan]

Les and Roy would always drop the odd unscripted line in to try to make each other corpse with laughter. Roy succeded more than Les.

[@highpath4776]

I wonder if Roy was better read ? , no disrespect but the mangled french/italian etc , always a staple of British Comedy ( Barry Cryer was excellent with that in the scriptwriting, along with Alo Alo writers.

[@madabbafan]

​​@@highpath4776 It may have been Les who was better read as he also wrote a number of books.

[@MarjorieStoker-oj8fh]

Brilliant Les Dawson worked well with Roy Barrowclougf

[@BazzSelby]

Another good reaction, and 'Ada' is pronounced/sounds like, A-duh. :o) Glad to be of help!

[@SkullBanker-68]

Barraclaugh and Dawson love to you both .

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

Thanks for that Alan that was brilliant I remember these when I was a kid watching them with my mum and dad. There was funny then and they still are funny now😂😂😂❤

[@Colinx1553]

Les Dawson was a trained classical Pianist a brilliant Performer and comedian sadly missed

[@johnr4459]

cosmo smallpiece is class les dawson stuff

[@paulmoore845]

You make me laugh with that laugh of yours. Love your reactions to old British comedians. Comedy from a better time. Not many around today. Peter Kaye is the best British comedian around nowadays. And of course Chubby Brown both different but funny.

[@stevekenney1076]

2 more of the greats sadly gone , why are all my comedy hero’s deceased

[@walshpaul4158]

Les Dawson and gang are so funny

[@stephennesbitt6059]

Great stuff!😅So funny!

[@grabtharshammer]

(psst - it is pronounced "Ay dah" )

[@sharonellis8776]

You could see that Les had broke, he couldn't look at Roy ! xx

[@shelleyjackson8793]

I have a cousin who looks like Les Dawson's character. I hope she doesn't see this comment because she's lovely but she does look like him in drag.😂

[@pondermatic]

Ah I was hoping you’d watch this one. :-)

[@angelagardner5230]

hello have not heard from you for quite a while

[@BrianM0OAB]

Have you done any Dick Emery shows ?

[@TheEclecticBeard]

I have a few sketches from it on here.

[@BrianM0OAB]

@@TheEclecticBeard Ok cool he has so many characters and all tongue in cheek.

[@robcannon9165]

Hi big man greetings from England 🇬🇧 you should check out an English Comedian called Johnie Casson and you should watch "The Bits They Didn't Screen" on The Des O'Connor show.

[@lorrainemcgregor1759]

We❤alan 😂 It's pronounced ai-dah.

[@chriscaspian2280]

So funny

[@scottmasson3336]

L'escargot was a famous racehorse

[@user-zt1er1uj6i]

The bottle out of the knicker leg might have been off script. Les Dawson has done things off script to get a reaction and play off it.

[@angelagardner5230]

we dont have that anymore in fact we do not have much comedy uk

[@dav7444]

Aren't they great

[@TheEclecticBeard]

They are

[@niptodstan]

It’s pronounced Ayda.

[@Ingleborough111]

Ada pronounced Aida

[@andrewtolmie7807]

It's not adda it's a da

[@harryzero1566]

Pronounced Aider

[@thesemyths3597]

I've attempted to decipher some of the patter from the old Lancastrian accent:- 1:56: "I can only wear a court heel, or French sabot(t)s." Types of women's fashion and work shoes. 2:00: "I went to one of those chipotterists." She's trying to say Chiropodist, otherwise known as a Podiatrist. 2:12: "He said I've got rancid bunions 'and they will have to come off'." 2:25: "It's Arnold Burtenshaw from number twelve Westbold Street." 2:42: "In the ATS she was in charge of an ack ack battery." ATS = Auxiliary Territorial Service (women's branch of the British Army). Ack ack = anti-aircraft artillery fire, also shortened to AA. 2:46: "And they 'performed' while there was a lull in the bombing." Self-explanatory. Still struggling with some bits. 2:28: "The house with the dirty "?" and the hamster" has stumped me.

[@highpath4776]

Dirty Tules (presumably net curtains) and I guess the hamster cage/run was visible through a window ? I suppose the house with the ginger tom and the grubby nets would have worked as well too

[@colinhughes916]

Love You EB Hilarious
