Review: Comedy at the Hippodrome, London
The first comedian to play the London Hippodrome was Charlie Chaplin, who was a youngster in extravagant 1900 circus variety show, headlined by Little Tich and featuring on its packed bill a water spectacle on a flooded, sunken stage, a horse act, 21 lions and 'Lavater Lee and his screamingly funny bucking mule'. The last comedian to play the London Hippodrome - now a casino but with a classy cabaret venue within - was Glenn Wool, who had to work his Canadian socks off to get a reaction from a largely sluggish crowd last night. How times have changed.
