Bob Flag, one of the true originals of British comedy
Kim Wells pays tribute to Bob Flag who died last August, aged 92. Kim compered the Earth Exchange Cabaret in Highgate, North London, from 1980 to 1989, one of the very first alternative comedy venues in London. Bob frequently performed there, both as part of a musical comedy duo and with Kim doing a mind-reading act. Kim also guested at two of Bob's regular venues - the Kings Head in Islington in the 1980s and the Lincoln Lounge in Kings Cross in the late 1990s and the Noughties.

Musician/performer/actor/comic Bob Flag (aka Bob Evans) had an odd act involving a saxophone. He had played with musicians like David Bowie, Ken Campbell, Thunderclap Newman and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. In 1984, Bob Flag was the face of Big Brother in the movie version of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
