It's 100 years today since Ernie Wise was born.

Half of Morecambe & Wise, the legendary comedy double act. Legendary in the UK at any rate.

Sadly, they're both long gone from this world - Eric in 1984, Ernie in 1999.

Eric’s centenary is this coming May.

And they might never have been – Ernie came close to ending the partnership in 1950.

Like Nichols and May before them, Monteith and Rand had their own Broadway show. Unlike Nichols and May, they faded from view after they broke up.

See our latest post on Bert Williams and George Parker. Williams and Parker were a comedic duo in the early 20th century. They influenced subsequent acts and were a dynamic force on stage https://historianspeaks.org/f/bert-williams-and-george-walker-first-black-recording-artists . #BertWilliams #GeorgeParker #Vaudeville #ComedyDuo

@alicemcalicepants No that Texas is not the reason. 🤣 #ComedyDuo
