Remember this was radio entertainment not TV in that year. I was listening to the radio in late fifties and early sixties and this stuff was great, along with Wacko, Navy lark, Clitheroe kid, etc,etc. Happy Happy days.
Bearing in mind what world events were going on that year....i would think that it served its purpose of entertaining civilians in cinemas in between dodging Luftwaffe bombs. (He even survived a Zeppelin bomb which destroyed his house in WWI). Besides...what's not to like about funny faces. The world was not yet ready for his famous walk later on!

Like a fine wine, Max got better and better the older he got! When I got on board with him in the 70’s he was the best in he’s field!!
Better? This could not have been worse😬🥺
Champion 👍
I love the announcer’s pronunciation of Max: “Mex”!
they were easily pleased in those days for sure

Well, from my point of view, the only funny aspect of Max Wall was Freddie Star's impersonation. Now, that was funny.
