Famous quotes containing the words british and/or comedian:
“The British tourist is always happy abroad as long as the natives are waiters.”
—Robert Morley (1908–1992)
“Today’s comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an “act” and he told the audience, “This is my act.” Today’s comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he’s telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
