Will Fyffe

Will Fyffe was one of the first of the great Glasgow comedians and music hall performers who did his act in broad Glasgow dialect. In this sense he predated comedy performers like Jimmy Logan, Lex MacLean, Chic Murray and, of course, Billy Connolly. He drew te inspiratin for his act from what he saw around him, the infamous Glasgow "jakey" (drunkard), the wee woman in the street and the ordinary working man. This endeared him to all who heard him and gave him a followiong in Glasgow that was ledendary in its devotion.
