@EdmundStAustell Classic!

@swallin19 Grant you Joe Kepple was from Cork but according to Wiki Jack Wilson was born in Liverpool and they both emigrated to the US at an early age. Betty was however American - at least the first one.

I love the comments on "so British", Joe Keppel was Irish, and Wilson and Betty both American!
The act was unique, and ran till age forced retirement. My Grandfather was a close friend of Joe, both born in the same street in Cork. The whole act was called "Cleopatras Nightmare" and featured far more than just the sand dance. The BFI rated it as most requested clip for many years.Most film clips were thought lost, but lots have surfaced now of this famous Variety act..

The only reason they had to break up the act was because one of them took and arrow to the knee.

@teflonmike1 Yes, I've had so many comments on this video...people love it. It is very, very funny, in a subtle, silly, very British way, almost like a kind of Monty Python routine.
