One of the Greatest Stand up's the late, great   Trully underrated due to his many Quiz shows, but if you get to see an old live show there are few equal to him. |

Monkhouse was one of those comedians who I always thought of as being crap, be who I always ended up laughing at. So I suppose he must have been doing something right ;D

What it was with Bob, was that he got too well known for his Game Show host role rather than a decent comedian. I never really appreciated his humour until just before he died.

Yer all rude to call him by that name - use his full name respectfully:
Robert Monastery!
;D

P.S. He was great on 'Room 101' - not keen on the French y' know! ;D

We must stop turning nearly every thread on here into a Peter Kay one.
He's getting way too much attention.
It must stop now!

Yes, a great stand-up and a great guy. He did a lot of after-dinner routines at private functions, like company dinner-dances, exhibition parties etc. IHe was guest speaker at one dinner I attended in London, and forget Mr. Clean, he came out with some of the filthiest jokes I've ever heard - hilarious. He was also a living encyclopedia of vintage film. He knew everything about film from 1893 onwards, and worshipped Laurel and Hardy. He was an honorary member of a branch of the Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society and would always write an intro or dedication on request. His quick wit was remarkable and his repertoire of jokes seemingly unlimited. I didn't llike him in films, though, it wasn't his medium. Bob was at his best live.
