When did your career really get started?
I partnered with Nick Ullett in 1963 – making many appearances in West End nightclubs such as The Blue Angel, The Establishment and many other venues in the UK.
You worked with Lenny Bruce?
Yes, in 1964 I moved to New York with Nick Ullett, and made appearances with Lenny Bruce at Café A Go Go. Bruce was busted twice during this run, his last major booking.
What were some of your early television appearances like?
In the 60’s, Nick and I made multiple appearances on every major variety show in the United States – everything from Hollywood Palace, Dean Martin Show, Kraft Music Hall, Ed Sullivan. We were also regulars on Merv Griffin Show with George Carlin, Richie Pryor and Lily Tomlin – and also the Tonight Show, the Joey Bishop Show and many others.
