Wikipedia: Leslie "Les" Dawson, Jr. (2 February 1931 – 10 June 1993) was an English comedian, actor, writer, and presenter, who is best remembered for deadpan style, curmudgeonly persona and jokes about his mother-in-law and wife.


Dawson claimed in his entertaining but unreliable autobiography that he began entertaining as a pianist in a Parisian brothel ... He was a talented pianist but developed a gag in which he played a familiar piece such as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and then introduced hideously wrong notes (yet not destroying the tune) without appearing to realise, smiling unctuously and relishing the accuracy and soul of his own performance. ... Dawson's style as a comic was world-weary, lugubrious and earthy. He was as popular with female as with male audiences. A reporter from The Sun found him backstage joking with cleaning women and making them laugh. ... Before his fame Dawson wrote poetry and kept it secret. It was not expected that someone of his working class background would have literary ambitions. ... Having broken his jaw in a boxing match, he could pull grotesque faces by pulling his jaw over his upper lip. ... Dawson was a heavy smoker and drinker. When not working he would often drink a bottle of whisky and smoke 50 cigarettes a day.
