Our Take

Ah, the absolute gem that is "The Bricklayer/17 Comedy Classics Also Blood Donor" by Gerard Hoffnung, Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock, and Flanders & Swann. This album is a delightful blend of comedy and music that will have you in stitches from start to finish.

The title track, "The Bricklayer," is a hilarious take on the mundane profession of, you guessed it, bricklaying. With Hoffnung's witty delivery and Sellers' impeccable timing, this track is guaranteed to have you chuckling along.

But wait, there's more! The 17 comedy classics included on this album are nothing short of brilliance. From Tony Hancock's iconic "The Blood Donor" to Flanders & Swann's whimsical "The Gnu Song," each track brings its own unique flavor of comedy to the table.

The British humor on display here is top-notch, with a charming eccentricity that only the likes of Hoffnung, Sellers, Hancock, and Flanders & Swann could deliver. It's a true testament to the comedy legends of yesteryear.

Overall, "The Bricklayer/17 Comedy Classics Also Blood Donor" is a must-listen for any fan of British comedy. So sit back, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let the comedic genius of these legends brighten your day. Cheers to Hoffnung, Sellers, Hancock, and Flanders & Swann for a truly unforgettable listening experience.

About the artist

Various Artists

Gerard Hoffnung: The larger-than-life personality of Gerard Hoffnung continues to loom large over the classical music world, despite his untimely passing over 60 years ago. The British humorist, musician, and conductor was known for his wit, his eccentricity, and his unabashed passion for all things musical. Hoffnung's legacy lives on through his legendary musical comedy festivals, his iconic "bricklayer's Lament" speech, and his enduring impact on the world of music satire. His irreverent take on classical music has inspired generations of musicians and comedians alike, cementing his status as a true icon in the annals of musical history. Peter Sellers: Before he became the iconic movie star known for his incredible range of characters, Peter Sellers was a talented musician and comedian whose satirical take on the music industry left a lasting impression. Sellers' parody songs, hilarious sketches, and spot-on impressions of popular musicians made him a true pioneer in the world of musical comedy. His collaborations with fellow comedic legends like Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe helped solidify his reputation as a comedic genius, while his uncanny ability to mimic the voices of musical legends like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley made him a standout in the world of satire. Tony Hancock: As one of the most beloved British comedians of the 20th century, Tony Hancock's influence on the world of comedy and music cannot be overstated. With his deadpan delivery, dry wit, and knack for absurdity, Hancock captivated audiences with his unique brand of humor. His iconic radio and television shows, including Hancock's Half Hour, showcased his comedic talents and made him a household name. Hancock's hilarious takes on popular music and culture continue to entertain audiences to this day, solidifying his status as a comedic legend.
