	British comedy Summary
		British Comedy, in film, radio and television, is known for its consistently quirky characters, plots and settings, and has produced some of the most famous and memorable comic actors and characters in the last fifty years.
		British comedy films are legendary, but among the most notable are the Ealing comedies, the 1950s satires of the Boulting Brothers, and innumerable popular comedy series including the St Trinian's films, the "Doctor" series, and the long-running Carry On films.
		Radio comedy in Britain has been almost exclusively the preserve of the BBC, and a number of British radio comedies achieved considerable renown in the second half of the twentieth century.

	Whitfield, June
		June Whitfield is a durable comedy actor whose entire career has been spent providing excellent support to virtually every major British comedian on radio and television.
		In the 1950s she became a radio favourite playing the perennially engaged "Eth" in the famous Jimmy Edwards comedy series Take It From Here, but her lasting stardom was due a to a remarkable run of television appearances supporting Britain's best loved comedians and her long-running sitcom series Terry and June.
		She is not the only funny woman of British television to have had such a comedy-support career, but she is arguably the busiest.

	The Rough Guide To British Cult Comedy
		Julian Hall, who is comedy critic of the Independent, says "With the explosion in comedy since the 1980s, it’s really hard to believe there’s anyone over the age of 25 who hasn’t yet experienced one of the UK’s comedy nights, but there’s a first time for everyone.
		At the core of the Rough Guide to British Cult Comedy is a chapter entitled Icons, profiling the most influential comedians to have emerged in the last 25 years.
		Fans of US comedy will be delighted to know that there is a whole chapter on the Amercians who have made us laugh from Lenny Bruce to Doug Stanhope (pictured) and TV shows from Taxi to Curb Your Enthusiasm.

	The Man
		All of this paid off and he began to win a string of awards to decorate his bathroom: a Perrier Award nomination at the Edinburgh Festival and a Time Out Award in 1991.
		In 1993 he took his show to the Ambassadors Theatre for a 4 week run which he had to extend twice to 13 weeks to accomodate everyone and was nominated for an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement.
		Still he had snubbed the TV so everyone agreed that this was pretty amazing (or stupid), and LWT thought they should give him the award for Top Live Stand-up Comedian at the British Comedy Awards.
