Max Miller
British vaudevillian comedian Max Miller is, to this day, strongly associated with the 'cheeky chappie' character he created from the '30s through to the '50s. He was considered brilliant at commanding an audience's complete attention with his mixture of censor-teasing smut and 'seaside' humour.

Mike Reid
One of the original stars of The Comedians in the 70s, this fast-talking, gravel-voiced cockney gained cult fame as a character actor playing Pat Butcher's husband, car dealer Frank, in EastEnders. His adult stand-up act is characterised by blue gags and quick fire wit. Triffic!

Mitch Hedberg
Known as much for his odd comedy subject matter, stylistic elocution and subdued delivery, as he is for his early death from a drug overdose at the age of just 37, Hedberg favoured clever non-sequiturs, deft wordplay and abrupt punch lines in his stage act.

Mort Sahl
The veteran American comedian who caused a stir in the 1950s and 60s with his routines based around politics and current affairs. His casual stage appearance dressed in his trademark sleeveless sweater belied his politicised act and he was blacklisted for several years when he started cracking jokes about JFK. Pioneered a style of stand-up that paved the way for Lenny Bruce and Dick Gregory amongst others
