I've seen Tommy Cooper and Eric Sykes live on stage. Eric Sykes was brilliant whereas Tommy Cooper was disappointing.

I saw Eric Sykes in the New Theatre years ago, outstanding.

I saw Eric Sykes in York. The cast was brilliant and included Britt Eckland, Robin Asquith and Ian Lavender but the best performance was Sykes who was utterly brilliant. He forgot his words on a few occasions and laughed it off and had the audience in stitches. The fact he was able to perform at all was brilliant given that he was totally deaf.

I spoke to him on Greyfriars Rd at the same time I saw him at the New Theatre and, you’re correct, he was mutton. He did reply to me whilst cupping his ear though, I thought it was funny at the time because he had huge lugholes
