Tickling Jock

Fun exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery looking at Scottish comedians and entertainers from Harry Lauder to Billy Connolly.

It took you through the different phases of 20th entertainment music hall, variety and television. Looking at the stars of each through paintings, photographs and ephemera.

The most dramatic picture was one of Rikki Fulton by Thomas Kluge, a dark realistic picture which seemed to contrast with his roles in panto which were described. The worst was an awful chocolate box style picture of Kenneth McKeller!
