That's a matter of opinion as he didn't make me laugh at all and slap-stick needs to be slicker than that.
Enjoyable nonetheless finding out about the original clown, played here by the late Barry Chuckle who proved to be quite a good actor. His brother Paul was in it too, along with David Essex as Charles Dickens who apparently was a great supporter of Grimaldi.
Also had Vicki Michelle in it and she is welcome to pop up anytime she likes.
