In 1967 a new Comedy Star is born, Les Dawson.

[crazydave234]

this is fantastic les dawson and roy barraclough were a great double act and listen to bbc radio 4 extra on a sunday for the les dawson show there's another funny sketch on there wotan man of steel it's brillant les dawson was a talented man R.I.P

[popazz1]

Ah,god bless him.The man was a comic genius,a phrase which is bandied around way too often these days with reference to the current crop of comics.The pairing of him & Roy Baraclough as Cis' & Ada was simply oustanding.And listening to the hysterical screeching of the studio audience was equally entertaining.You're missed,LD,but I imagine the after-life is rocking in the aisles.

[bonbon101164]

@popazz1 I was just talking how great TV was years ago so watching some fantastic British comedy. Les was loved by many and is such a huge miss. Cissie and Ada is classical. Just looking at them has me in doubled up with laughter. RIP Les. British TV is a disgrace now with all the reality crap.

@terryrazz Hi can you pm me as I find your position very interesting

[chuffnobbler]

"They had nothing to eat but sedentary armadillos".

Brilliant.

[terryrazz]

Hi, I’m Terry Ravenscroft, the scriptwriter of all the Cissie and Ada sketches here on YouTube. Glad to know they are still being enjoyed. I have just published an e-book on Amazon Kindle ‘Les Dawson’s Cissie and Ada’, which contains many of the original scripts. Apart from a Kindle gizmo the e -book is downloadable on I-Pod, Mac, and you can also download it direct onto your PC.

You have to watch comedians like these to realise just what we are missing. Today's comedians leave me cold.

"Approaching the change! From which direction?"

I used to do my running warm-up routine listening to this, but it's so funny I can't stop laughing.....

[thegreatauk01]

His mum said (tongue in cheek) " If laughter is infectious, then my son has found the cure".

[darksideresider]

Was drinking a cup of tea when Les said he was approching the change. When Roy said "from which direction?" I lost it a spat a mouthful of tea across the room. Classic, brilliant comedy

[wine4survival]

I only have to see Les Dawson for three seconds and I am laughing

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

fantastic we miss you les ,RIP mate

[latte123]

"Chindits?"

"Oh, they all had 'em...." xD 

[vaslav030547]

STAR

[yumyummoany]

Back in the 1950s Retford was full of ladies like these! I love the 'posh' northern working class - so unintentionally funny!

[radioianj]

"Sausage factory"...wwaagghh!!! I fell off my chair--killingly funny! Les was the best, I still miss his comedy. A real Legend.

[SWF90]

this is hilarious, old comedy is the best

[anitashelby]

LOL OMG..This Is Hysterical! 5*s Thankyou Jennie for sharing....Anita..

[Kittielips]

@anitashelby

I need a hystericallectomy after rewatching this! Care for a "Bavarian Meal?!"

Jennie.

[Kittielips]

Brilliant!! I can relate to these kind of characters!!

Thank you.

5*****.

Jennie.

[3toons]

Classic comedy from Les and Roy. I can watch these over and over and still laugh. Sadly none of today's "comedians" could ever replace the likes of Les Dawson.

[chazsmateII]

Spread legs, boob hitching, silent talking, no teeth and curlers; perfect observation.

[dramaticguy]

"....and she swears she only went past a sausage factory"hilarious.

[tiara747]

My goodness i miss Les..i grew up with his wonderful humour, and these sketches with Roy Barraclough are indeed priceless treasures, and guaranteed to cheer up a weary soul. I agree, that they have u laughing aloud at the phrasology, coupled with amazing observations from a bygone era...God Bless them both, and thank YOU gorleston for the great foresight to put these on youtube..everyone should have a dose of Cissie & Ada!

[ozzymandi]

He's a chipatti you know.

[cottonwhiskersuk]

"Perhaps it was psychosomatic."

"No, it's the old-fashioned sort with a chain and flush." Biggest laugh of the sketch!

[CK1223]

comedy great

[NuckinFuts666]

Hysterical-rectomy and Bavarium meal. LOL. A comedy genius who is sorely missed. R.I.P. Les

[lakeakero]

Gorlestonguy, you are a star ! I've been chuckling at all the C&A vids this weekend after I came across them. Thankfully, there is a lot I haven't seen so it's fresh. The Dawson reaction shots have me giggling everytime. The face, the pause, the punchline.

[martinwilliamrandall]

Just love how Les Dawson just has to walk in as Ada to get a laugh. It reminds me so much of Benny Hill as Fredd Skuttle.

[Harvey030547]

A great loss an very missed. Hope your making them laugh over there Les!

[madmike133]

Fantastic Les Dawson.. Real class comedy, sorely missed.

[morgansifer82]

Roy Barraclough looks like Mrs Slocombe here!

[bubnkay]

I know! The first time that I watched this I kept wondering if the studio had used one of Mrs. Slocombes wigs for him!

[morgansifer82]

And Les Dawson, aka Cissy, reminds me of some of the old bids my gran used to chat o on the bus!

[bubnkay]

I would pay almost any price to have a dvd set of all the Cissie and Ada episodes ever made.

[aznarder]

my god i love les dawson, im the classic aletrnative commedy fan of the 80's but this is preceless!.

anyone who knows working class women of a "certain age" will see the pure observatory genius of this stuff!

[cuxca]

echo your comments.

[fastlanemark]

[dollydog20]

FUNNIEST SKETCH EVER!

[daanemartina]

This is great!

[hollymarilyn1313]

i dont get it

[aznarder]

whats there not to get?it's just fucking brilliant! so glad i grew up with les dawson on tv!

[Normanskie]

It's the subtleties of humour that is clean and has double meanings, like shin dits, yes they all had em.

[georeff23]

sorry, misspelt, I meant to sy a merkin

[baldanjvd]

Must be stupid then

[georeff23]

must be american..

[ONYERNOSE]

Good on ya Les! I love you! I grew up with you! I'll never forget you!

[russelltrigger]

This is the best double act for Drags comic i think ever!!

brillant!

[bangkokstuart]

Nobody can touch this duo for classic British inuendo humour.

[kirkwallboy]

They must have enjoyed doing these roles. They are a great comic team, do the ladies so sympathetically and thus make them real!

[connelpark]

what a team

[lyn1954o]

absoloute classic...remind me not to walk past a sausage factory!!!!

[BORISLIMOGES]

please can someone make a french translation;;;;;seems to be so funny

[Johnaw54]

Classic comedy. The very best.

[ZINKY69]

Nothing to come anywhere near this today

[rickser]
