Bobby Knoxall - Bobby Knoxall - Mackem Laugh (DVD)

The wit and wisdom of Bobby Knoxall MBE
Introduced by Tim Healy

I’ve been a fan of Bobby Knoxall ever since I was a young lad. I was a welder but all I wanted to be was a comedian. I first saw Bobby in 1974 at the Ouston Social Club in Chester le Street, County Durham and I laughed till my belly ached.

Bobby oozes confidence, from the moment he walks on stage. He makes you feel as if you were in his front room. I know that Bobby has always needed to be a comedian.That’s his passion in life. This comes out in the delivery of his lines and in his 100% belief in his material. That’s what makes him so special.

Every gag he tells sounds like his favourite, no question about it, and he delivers them brilliantly. He's travelled all over the world making people laugh and you have to care about people to want to do that.

Bobby is a one-off, a comedian’s comedian. He’ll always be a legend in the North East. He’s recently fought through a life threatening operation, has bounced back and is performing his own unique brand of humour again. I take my hat off to you pal, wish you love and luck, and I know people old and young who buy this DVD will have a great laugh.     Tim Healy
