Quoted by Nancy Banks-Smith reviewing Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stockings apropos the two footmen.... "My God theres two of them" recalled all too vividly the adverse reaction of the audience when Mike and Bernie Winters appeared at the Glasgow Empire.

Not to mention Eric Morecombe's immortal reply to the question posed to him and Ernie Wise, "Who would you be if you weren't comedians?"

Re: Mike and Bernie Winters.
Not a patch on the audience response the late Eric Douglas once received.
A faltering stand-up, one gig was going particularly badly. Over the audience's complaints he shouted "Don't you people know who I am? I'm Kirk Douglas's son!"
After a moment, somebody at the back stood up and shouted "No! I'm Kirk Douglas's son!", which was quickly picked up until nearly the entire audience were standing up claiming to be Kirk's son.

Re: Mike Douglas
As far as I'M concerned, Michael Douglas is a TOP BLOKE!!!!
When I lived and worked in Bermuda, our Christmas staff party was at a plush venue called Ariel Sands, and we took it over and had a great time, the owner of the place insisted on picking up our bar tab which ran into several hundred dollars, and our gaffer INSISTED that the owner joined us for a toast...............lo and behold, Michael Douglas and his then wife Diandra came from their suite on the hotels grounds and had a few more drinks with our party. NOT ONCE did he act flash, and was quite taken aback we asked him to join us in the first place. Seems he was a regular at our restaurant and always liked the food and service and was never bothered or pestered, so it was his way of saying thanks.
Found out afterwards he was born on the island and mixes incognito with the people of Bermuda with no hassles.
Unlike Fucking Diana Ross who was a cunt in the first degree EVERYTIME she came to the island

Re: Mike and Bernie Winters.
My favorite unintentional put-down is as follows (true story).
A few years ago Arnold Brown was an accountant and he was
trying to make a living as a stand up comedian. He appeared
at the comedy store when it first opened.
He decided the opening lines of his act were going to be:
"Hi, i'm Arnold Brown, I am an accountant, I check things.........
can you hear me at the back"
On stage he said the first line:
"Hi, i'm Arnold Brown, I am an accountant, I check things.........
and someone at the back shouted:
"We can't hear you at the back"
End of act.....
