How could you not love Red Skelton

Red Skelton did not need to lace his routines with foul language and four-letter words to solicit laughs from his audience. The only comedian that I know of today who can make the same claim to fame is the great Sinbad.

In this Royal Command Performance, his last to be recorded, Red Skelton joins the audience by laughing at himself and his own jokes, one of the unique qualities that this comedic genius had. I still can't remember whether I laughed harder at his jokes or at Red laughing at himself.

His comedy was for all ages and will endure as long as the act of laughter. I miss you Red!

Have a Laugh with the Queen!

Red Skelton was summand to Royal Albert Hall and did not disappoint! Red goes out with a blaze of glory. Funny how he sneaks in zingers when he thinks he's got an audience!

Anecdotes
This performance was recorded live on Red Skelton's 70th Birthday on 18 July 1983 and released on the pay cable channel HBO on 22 April 1984. The recording took place before the Royal Family at London's Royal Albert Hall and before a packed house of Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen. Red tosses off jokes, one-liners, and works through elaborate pantomime routines both classic and new. Highlights include Skelton's uproarious "Guzzler's Gin" routine, his "Fisherman and the Little Boy" mime, and his heartbreaking "Old Man Watching a Parade." Additionally , he mimes a scarecrow and an old golfer. His legendary rapport with audiences is clearly evident here.
