The Life and Career of Frankie Howerd

Frankie Howerd was one of the most popular and successful comedians of the 20th century. Born in York, England, in 1922, Howerd began his career as a stand-up comic in the early 1950s. He quickly rose to fame, appearing on numerous television and radio shows. In the 1960s, he starred in his own television series, The Frankie Howerd Show. Howerd continued to perform until his death in 1992.

Howerd was known for his unique brand of comedy, which combined physical humor, slapstick, and witty one-liners. He was also a master of improvisation, and his shows were often filled with unexpected detours and ad-libs. Howerd's humor was often self-deprecating, and he was not afraid to laugh at himself.
