Hi Mandy Greetings from England 🇬🇧 as well as being a comedian he was a good magician and was a member of the magic circle, Tommy actually Died live on TV and when he collapsed the audience were laughing thinking it was part of his act!!! What a way to go live on stage.

[@wraithstalking]

Comedy genius - absolutely without malice as well.

[@Greenwood4727]

his laugh, just makes the grey day a little less grey

[@NigelThompson-hb5jg]

Diana was constantly hyped as the 'English Monroe'. You didn't want to argue with hubby and his friends :)

[@vomgrady]

Diana Dors was such a huge star in the UK back in the day.

[@ajorngjdonaydbr]

Broke my heart the way this wonderful man died, he was that funny this audience laughed at him dying thinking it was part of his act.

[@sicr7373]

Great to see Diana Dors again!

[@vallee3140]

oh wasn't it, I really liked her.

[@Ozzpot]

Mandy Mandy! Funny story abouyt Diana Dors - Her real name is Diana Fluck. Fluck. She's from Swindon in England, but went to Hollywood and became a big star. When the people of her hometown heard she was coming home, they decided to roll out the red carpet and make a big deal out of it. The local mayor or someone, I forget exactly who, memorised a little speech for the occasion. when it came to the big moment he said words to the effect of "Ladies and gentlemen, the world knows her as Diana Dors, but of course, to us, she will always be Diana Clunt". I think we can all see what went wrong in his mental process there. 😅

[@jeffrey44]

Is that true @ozzpot? Be honest now.

[@Ozzpot]

@@jeffrey44 According to Fluck herself, yes. She told that story in an interview. ☺️

[@caphowdy666]

Mandy "I'm not big on watching older things" Me * turns off webcam *

[@pobsdad]

My heart sank a bit as well!

[@garethm3242]

Yet lots of her content is older stuff like Mr Bean and the Two Ronnies (Ok I remember Mr Bean in the early '90s, but for her it's older 'cos I'm at the end of my 30s)

[@dcallan812]

Tommy doing the wine bottles trick was so funny. I live not far from Scarborough it used to have tons of comedy acts and theatre productions. If was a huge seaside resort, but after cheap flights it died.

[@JonathanReynolds1]

Diana Dors played the commander in the Two Ronnies’ sketch series “The Worm That Turned”.

[@Nick_C1997]

Yeah, Cooper is a professionally trained magician, he messes up tricks on purpose for the sake of comedy. It also catches people off guard when he does the magic tricks correctly

[@stevedotwood]

He had a certain elegance to him. We'd enjoy all of his silly jokes and tricks and him laughing at himself all the time, and my mom couldn't see the humour in it.

[@777petew]

The jokes - if anyone else did them not many would laugh, but Tommy had that gift of making them funny. He was a naturally funny man. God bless. It's true, we would be laughing as soon as he walked on - all the family!

[@jasonc5413]

Tommy was a national treasure. I remember learning about his death on News At Ten. I was 15 at the time, it was like hearing a family member had died. It was on every newspaper's front page the next day. The whole nation loved him. He was also a top magician, but the joke was, the trick would always look like it was going wrong, then he would pull off something totally unexpected.

[@jimmygrieves2909]

There is a story that Tommy, when he was young - was asked by his boss if he could put on a Christmas show of his magic tricks for the workers . The show was a disaster - he kept getting it wrong, breaking things, losing things and so on, so much so, that the workers were laughing their pants off; Tommy left the stage in tears - shellshocked. Half an hour later - they were still laughing their pants off and Tommy thought to himself "Wait a minute - there's something in this !"

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

He does funny sketches too. One I like is "Tommy Cooper - Cooking with duck - 1973"

[@carlhartwell7978]

Lol, his big mouth joke reminded me of a joke my mum used to tell me as a very young child and always had me in hysterics, The Wide Mouthed Frog. It doesn't work so well in text. A wide mouth frog is hopping through the swamp, when he comes upon a dragonfly. He says "HELLO! WHO ARE YOU,WHAT DO YOU EAT"? The Dragonfy replies "I'm a dragonfly,I eat little bugs and stuff." To which he says "I'M A WIDE MOUTH FROG,I EAT FLIES," The wide mouth frog continues along until he comes upon a squirrel. He says "HELLO! WHO ARE YOU,WHAT DO YOU EAT"? The Squirrel replies "I'm a squirrel, I eat nuts and seeds." Wide mouth frog again says "I'M A WIDE MOUTH FROG,AND I EAT FLIES" The wide mouth frog continues hopping along and finds an alligator basking on the edge of the swamp. He says "HELLO! WHO ARE YOU,WHAT DO YOU EAT"? The alligator turns and shows his teeth and says "I'm an alligator and I eat wide mouth frogs." To which the frog replies with pursed lips 'ᴼʰ, ʸᵒᵘ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ˢᵉᵉ ᵐᵃⁿʸ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵒˢᵉ ᵃʳᵒᵘⁿᵈ ᵈᵒ ʸᵒᵘ'ˀ🤣🤣🤣

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

He essentially had a different guest(s) on his show each week. Some would get involved in the magic tricks and jokes part of the show, like here. And others would go on to do a few skits with him in the show too. "Tommy Cooper - Magic book - 1970" for example, will have a guest you defintly know

[@deborahcox921]

Loved his hat sketch, love Diana Dors I knew she could sing but never heard her sing before

[@grahamboffey457]

Tommy Cooper, comic genius.

[@user-sf2bz6mv3e]

lady dianna hahhahhahh love it 😍😍😍😍

[@user-sr4gw3gs4v]

Diana Dors was such a big star in the UK back in the day!

[@ChristbaitRising]

And in an Adam and the Ants video.

[@teffhoward9134]

Hi Mandy. If you want to see his magic. You need to watch his Bottle and Glass trick

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

It's his most famous trick, he did it several times. I got a few up "Tommy Cooper - Bottle glass, glass bottle - 1970" He also did it again in the same set as spoon jar trick in a 1974 video I have, but he also repeats several of the jokes in this video

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

He was on the Michael Parkinson chatshow and did a proper magic trick.

[@markhorton8578]

I used to like his shows, nearly all his tricks "failed" in a funny way. Every now and then he would do a trick that worked, and he used to look so surprised! :🙂 Two women I used to know went to one of his shows, they had to leave, they were in so much pain because their sides were hurting with laughter. All he had done was walk on stage and look at them. 🙂

[@sliverwolf1992]

Mandy you should check out the film called plank from the 1960's with Eric Sykes. So funny not loads of talking but a class film. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ajivins1]

Some times he'd start his act off stage with his voice coming over the speakers muttering how he couldn't find his way to the set. By the time he came on the audience were already in hysterics.

[@jimdaw65]

"Dark in here, isn't it? Dark in here, too" 🙂

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Diana Dors. Not a singer bless her but a film starlet of the late '50s. A sort of English Marilyn Monroe or perhaps Jayne Mansfield might be a closer comparison. She worked on tv and in films right through to her passing in 1984. You should quickly google 'Diana Dors 1955'. She was a really glamorous looking woman and very luminous on screen. Thanks again for the good viewing. You never fail to make my day jollier.

[@ANTONYTHEDRAWINGMAN]

she was bloody gorgeous

[@DavidZ4-gg3dm]

She died the same year he did.

[@iankelly5387]

Great reaction lovely lady

[@MandyCaneLane]

Thank you!! 😊

[@alpine_newt]

Be careful, he did die live on TV and it is on KZbin, I saw it by accident.

[@Emily-Whitfield]

Love Tommy Cooper ❤❤❤❤

[@jontastic]

Mr Cooper reminds me of old school vaudeville. I saw a low budget Las Vegas show that was similar, a marginal magician, a music act, and semi nude dancers. It was entertaining, but seemed like a high school production. The joke about small mouth being an indication of intelligence, is a short version of the joke about a large mouth bass fish meeting a frog. They meet, and the large mouthed bass asks the frog “I’m a bass and I eat a variety of things, what do you eat?” The frog says “ large mouthed bass”. The bass shrinks his mouth and says “that’s interesting and swims away”. And of course the comedian exaggerates the size of their mouth size while telling the joke.

[@MrGBH]

Have you seen Tommy's hat story routine?

[@vallee3140]

that is brilliant

[@hughtube5154]

Always entertaining, Mandy.

[@roybowers4315]

as allways your delight is my delight😍

[@-R.Gray-]

Another older fake magic act was The Great Flydini. This was something that Steve Martin would sometimes do at exclusive Hollywood parties. Johnny Carson had him do it on the Tontght Show before he retired (5/6/92) (still the best version I think)

[@Sidistic_Atheist]

He died doing what he loved.. He died on stage, in a LIVE TV performance. Sadly, nobody ran to help him. Because they all thought it was just another crazy part of his act. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGOrlX6rd8arg5Y

[@ajorngjdonaydbr]

I don't think she wants to see that. It instantly changes your memories of him

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

According to legend, in one of Tommy's early shows a trick went wrong and he ad-libbed by telling jokes. It worked so well that he kept it as part of his act. If you're willing to try some older comedians, have you watched any Morecambe and Wise? They were for many years Britain's most loved comedians. Their sketch with noted orchestral conductor Andre Previn is an all-time classic... The play you described sounds like one of Dennis Potter's plays, "The Singing Detective" - it was made into a great (but weird) TV series and also a movie.

[@Greenwood4727]

its mr Preview, it brought him into a massive audience that would never have known much about him

[@admiralbenbow5083]

Lite entertainment didnt get any lighter than this...

[@raphaelperry8159]

Sounds like the play you watched might have been something like Young Hearts Run Free (a play that's set in a nightclub and is best performed among the audience as if the audience were in the club themselves).

[@-TheLaughingStock-]

😦I can see the top of Steve's head from here.

[@mufccharliemufcglazersout]

Just like that 👈🏽

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsteve4087]

That was a very deswishous pair of swissors he had!

[@MandyCaneLane]

Hahahhaa, silly goose you!

[@BKKMekong]

Tom y started out as a magician but whenever one of his tricks went wrong, which was often, he would get a laugh, so he switched to comedy but kept a bit of the magic element.

[@ritahamblin1043]

Don't know if I mentioned it but there a skit he did with Eric sickest called the plank. It's very funny

[@ajivins1]

Eric Sykes. It's a whole movie.

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

I have the full film up

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

There are three versions of this. The original from 1967, the 1969 version which is essentially the same film re-edited and the 1979 remake, in which Sykes plays the Tommy Cooper role. Cooper was fantastic in the original though.

[@kevinkennedy6774]

Wonderful to see the legend Diana Dors of mink bikini fame

[@Chiggins_]

That ending was a bit prophetic, weren't it?

[@kiddalingur]

Dang, that dude died live on Telly

[@veryvarley6706]

He was about 6 foot 4 and part of what is so funny about him is how awkward he is. Most comedians love him because he was just funny odd human rather than the jokes he told being funny and they all want that skill.

[@keefsmiff]

Funny but the irony of that ending was not lost on me😪

[@Silver_Specter]

6:03 😂 can't make them jokes anymore especially when your prime minister is Hindu

[@ChristbaitRising]

He's a Muslim.(The peaceful religion remember!)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@ElGordo1959]

ok I've learned something new about you today. You're a sucker for a Dad joke it seems! 🙃

[@bingohall1333]

Did you know that this comedy legend was a favourite in Las Vegas and they kept asking him back to do a few years at a time Tommy Cooper who had a big drink problem and always wanted to be paid in cash in Britain if you were a club owners you paid what he said back in the 1950's,1960's,1970's and 1980's because he would fill the clubs night after night and he allegedly had to have free drinks for him and he's staff and friends. Who I think made his name in America on the Ed Sullivan show or someone else, just as famous on American TV at the time. Like wise, the same with another British legend Des 0 Connor who toured with Buddy Holly in 1957/8 ish had two long TV seasons on American TV during either late 1960's and early 1970's cannot remember when, but had the problem of gambling allegedly mainly because of being paid a lot of money back then. When he came back to England he was offered comedy talk shows and comedy gigs when he invited little known American comedians when he would go to comedy clubs across America to find young comedians for he's show and I mean the biggest names in American comedy now and they have had their own talk shows and hosted them for years in American part of TV history these names about four of these guys, starting with letterman, Gerry Seinfeld, just two out of many all you have to do is look up these guys big breaks owed to our Des as he was known. I think he got his TV break in the 1953 to 5 ish on British TV Love mum

[@bobanob1967]

The punch line didn't have to be that funny as you would have been laughing throughout the lead up.

[@Bebop1811]

Do yourself a favor and don't watch his final performance. It's all i see when i look at him

[@ajorngjdonaydbr]

Agreed, the way the audience laughed, I still hear it

[@reallystraightguy2716]

He' as entertaining as a rash.

[@blairhinton7535]

Tommy Cooper was NOT funny!

[@ChristbaitRising]

You are not a total twat then!
