CD Description
Max was the master when it came to comedy; ask any comedian and they'll tell you his influence as a comic was as great as his enormous popularity with the public. He held the audience in the palm of his hand as he told the naughtiest of stories, and all without a trace of vulgarity. Here are over fifty minutes of Max at his peak, recorded in the late '30s and the early '40s when he brought the light of laughter to the blackout. And he was right - 'There'll Never Be Another'.

Customer Reviews

There will never be another
It is always difficult to get the flavour of comedy from another era. Max Miller was a massive artist in the 30s 40s and 50s so he must have had something about him

There are a few clips of his act on You tube so you can see him performing his act.

I now play this CD when I am on long journeys in my car. You get into it without interruption. His delivery is quite slow as he pauses between each section as the audience are anticipating him by laughing

He comes from a time when you could only use innuendo so your humour had to be a lot more subtle. He never used rude words of swore.

It was like Round the Horne on radio it was all in the mind. He didn't use funny voices but came out in his trademark outrageous suits. Even his corny songs start to grow on you

You can hear the audience really enjoying the performance

If you are a fan of musical hall comedy and British comedians in particular this CD is a must.

I retold one of his jokes the other day which was not suggestive in the least and it got explosive laughter from those I retold it to. I did not use as many pauses but they still work today.

Highly recommended a treat to listen to. I will be buying some more of his works.

There will never be another

Lovely album, shame about the huge dropout in track #1
I love this album, and all of the tracks, but both the CD and the MP3 download suffer from a two second dropout about 3:10 into the first track.
