 * Comment I did find a description of Gorman in the Australian magazine The Bulletin: "Reg Gorman, 70, is putting on a show called Hanging on to Vaudeville. Gorman was once known as 'the atomic comic'. Most of his working life was spent in TV, but it was in music hall that he got his training. In sketches like 'Guzzler's Gin' - in which a 1950s TV presenter gets progressively drunker - Gorman gets laughs throwing his body into increasingly violent contortions. At a time when most comedy is a mouth and a microphone ,it is a reminder of an era when the comic had to use every trick in the book to keep the thing working. Most astonishing is an imitation of Roy 'Mo' Rene, Australia's greatest vaudevillian Three centuries are spanned in that homage, our whole comic heritage - held back, for a minute, from time's closing credits." Input from Australian editors would be appreciated.
