  George Colman the Younger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Colman (October 21, 1762 - October 17, 1836), known as "the Younger," English dramatist and miscellaneous writer, was the son of George Colman "the Elder".
The failing health of the elder Colman obliged him to relinquish the management of the Haymarket theatre in 1789, when the younger George succeeded him, at a yearly salary of £600.
Colman, whose witty conversation made him a favourite, was also the author of a great deal of so-called humorous poetry (mostly coarse, though much of it was popular)--My Night Gown and Slippers (1797), reprinted under the name of Broad Grins, in 1802; and Poetical Vagaries (1812).
