    I recall seeing Cannon & Ball in the late 70s when they still played Working Mens Clubs here in Britain. Most Works had social clubs that a lot of these acts played every night. They brought the house down every time. They were perfect family entertainment, that everyone could enjoy. Bobby Ball (with the moustache) died in 2020, I was fortunate to meet him, and he was one of the nicest kindest people you could ever hope to meet. Love the channel. Stay safe.

    Another great comedy duo of that era. What was so sad was when Covid came into our lives in 2020, Bobby Ball did an interview on our local regional radio station and at the end he gave a message that we would get through this, we needed to be strong. This message and their theme tune was used each week to boost morale during the first lock down and people gained a lot from hearing this from such a familiar person. Only for Bobby to sadly die of covid in October 2020. 'Rock on Tommy!'

    This is what was good about British Comedy. Tommy and Bobby were at the top of their game. Variety shows on TV in England were the best. You stayed in as a family to watch especially on a Saturday night. They toured the clubs of the North West of England and worked hard to get where they were. Im so glad i lived through all this wonderful entertainment. They were up against Little and Large i suppose.
    Tommy is a great singer.
    Its so sad we lost Bobby last year having circummed to COVID last year RIP Bobby

    In the 80’s they were like Rock Star’s, 20 million watched there TV show every week, people queuing round the block for tickets, everywhere was sold out, making millions, too much drink, groupies the lot but my god they were funny. After the show’s they didn’t speak to each other, they had their own people and it got nasty. But Bobby found God and things changed then Tommy found God as well. I saw them 3 times in the 80’s as a kid and loved them, when Bobby died I cried, to never see that cheeky grin ever again will be hard but thank god for RUclips. God bless Tommy !

Their interaction with the audience was legendary. They worked at a venue I worked at years ago and were lovely and down to earth. Their act was honed over years working the circuit of the workingmens clubs.

    It's really sad that bobby's passed seeing Tommy speak after losing his friend breaks your heart 😢
    There's a documentary about them.
    As you can see Tommy's the straight man and Bobby was the comedy I think they'd do a song at the end of their show like morcombe and wise.wise was the straight guy morcombe was the comedy you should check them out if you haven't already.
