In Tony’s Taste of Comedy, Tony Staveacre takes Rhod Sharp on a lightning tour of some of the best standup comedians of the twentieth century - from the forgotten to the unforgettable. Thus Sid Field (bottom right) one of the first standups to make a living doing impressions, and Billy Bennett (top right) a war hero who nevertheless portrayed himself as "almost a gentleman." Tony's lifelong involvement with comedy and comedians through his books and TV shows results in a very personal take on what makes us all more human.
