I heard the very sad news of Stanley Baxter dying yesterday aged 99.
Stan was one of the funniest men on UK television, I don't think I missed any of his shows.
I don't know if he was known in other parts of the world, perhaps some members will let me know.

STANLEY BAXTER - ROYAL HOLIDAY​


Stanley Baxter- This is a disgrace​



I'm sure that some members have other recollections of this comic genius, please share them with us.

Rest in peace Stan, you made a lot of people very happy.

I'm like that with some comedians especially slap stick. I'm more of a dry humor type. I never cared for Robin Williams and Steve Martins comedy but I loved their acting. I think (and thought) they were better actors than comedians.
 
I do like the English comedians, but I must admit I never saw much of Stanley Baxter here in Australia. Benny Hill was one of my favourites and that English show It Ain't Half Hot Mum about a British entertainment unit stationed in British India. It was so funny.
