Hovis Presley

[woodelf]

Only this weekend I've "discovered" the genius of Hovis Presley - yeah, I know, where've I been? - and I'm amazed that there are no DVDs or CDs of his work - unless, of course, I've missed 'em somehow? Ta Muchly.

Who he?

[woodelf]

Hi Maggie, he was a poet (mainly, I think) on the stand up comedy circuit, though he was - it seems - terrified by his success. He was/is a very clever and funny poet and read his work in a deadpan style. I hope I haven't done his memory a disservice.
