Who's Army...? David Crump talks about Fred Karno
Manage episode 327186092 series 2819814
Who was Fred Karno? and what was his army?
We talk to David Crump whose biography of today's subject reveals all - and some!
Karno was a giant personality who had a giant effect on theatre and cinema as we know it. The man who gave Stan Laurel, Charlie Chaplin and the Crazy Gang their first break and almost single handedly invented the type of slapstick we recognise in the silent movies had an eventful life that was touched by many of the major events of the first part of the 20th Century.
David's book is available from all good booksellers and direct from the publisher (best option if ordering from outside the UK)
