Dan Leno was the greatest Music Hall star of all time: the first stand-up comic, the best-loved pantomime dame and the world champion clog dancer with a strong line in character-based skits...he was, quite simply, the comic genius of his age.

Dan Leno blaized a trail long before Ronnie Barker's monologues, Les Dawson's wordplays or even Chaplin's struggling little tramp.

With live musical accompaniment, this romp through entertainment history brings the Nineteenth Century showman to life and with it, an understanding of how British comedy has evolved.

"This is Tony Lidington at his best...his ability to create the character and tell their story is outstanding."
Teesdale Mercury
