Three monkeys and Eric & Ernie
I was brought up by a Mum who loved The Goons, Billy Connolly and Dave Allen. Comedy was taken seriously. I can, and will if given half a chance, recite Billy’s “Football Violence” complete with dodgy Glaswegian accent.
My husband and I communicate in Eddie Izzard and Dylan Moran references which the monkeys now copy without knowing the context. We need to give them a good grounding before they carry on shouting “bunch of flowers” very loudly at unsuspecting people.
They are 10, 8 and 5 so Bill Hicks will come later. These kids need to know their history so we’ve introduced them to Morecambe and Wise. Teaching them Boom Oo Yata-Ta-Ta is the gift that keeps on giving. Most giggles ever.
