Here's one that might be an urban myth; Max was on an underground train, it was very full of passengers and he was squashed up behind a pretty woman. The woman asked as it pulled into a station "is this Cockfosters?" and Max replied "No, it's Millers'".
It's no urban myth. I've heard the recording. Miller subtly describes his heightening arousal as the woman in front presses against him in a crowded train, after explaining that she is not familiar with the London Underground (subway). As the train stops and the doors open, the woman turns her head to ask him, naming a famous London 'Tube' station, "Is this Cockfosters?" He replies thus: "No, Miller's the name, lady. Miller."
He had a white book of jokes and a blue book. At the Royal Variety Performance he asked the audience ‘Do you want the white book or the blue book?’ Allegedly the King and Queen shouted back together with the rest of the audience, ‘The blue book!’
He met a beautiful girl one day coming down a steep narrow path on Brighton cliffs. He couldn't decide whether to toss himself off or block her passage!
Superb delivery and timing
He headlined in a show called Apple Sauce during WW2. My lovely mum was one of the dancers in the Saucelets. Still got the programme!
The only comedian who could make a whole theatre full of folk feel as he was talking to each one individually. A true master.
Thanks for sharing this. My dad said he was his favorite comedian and I'd never heard him until today. That's really something very special for me. ❤
Truly the best ever ever ever will not be replaced the greatest RIP MAX
The best of comedy, ALL in your mind.
That accent and those jokes... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So funny
Adult humour without swearing...a lesson for many of today's comedians.
The best.
There'll never be another!

I can see where Paul Whitehouse got the character 'Arthur Atkinson' from!
Try Arthur Askey!

This one was attributed to Miller, but those who knew him best are absolutely sure that the great man never told it.
@@simongee8928 This was the joke which got him banned from BBC radio!

If you understand the working folk's mentality you've cracked a golden egg and deserve every scooping with relish.
Who doesn't need a comedic release?
Absolutely wonderful,, and its sad we may never see real talent again because now its "cheap untalented manufactured PC media propaganda crap""
Did they really laugh at this?
