Edwards, Jimmy

    0.02 sec.

Edwards, Jimmy (1920–1988)

English comedian. Distinguished by his huge handlebar moustache and a bluff and blustering characterization, he first drew popular acclaim as Pa Glum in the hit radio series Take It From Here (1948–60). He starred in the television series Whack-O! (1956–60, 1971) and John Jorrocks Esq, and made film appearances in Bottoms Up! (1959), The Plank (1967), The Bed Sitting Room (1969), and Rhubarb (1970).

Edwards was born in London, and performed with Cambridge Footlights before serving in the RAF during World War II. His Dakota was shot down at Arnhem (1944) and his trademark moustache concealed subsequent surgery.
