The Incomparable Thomas Frederick Cooper (Tommy) was born March 19, 1921, Caerphilly, Wales.
For over thirty years Tommy was a colossus in the world of comedy entertainment.
Tommy Cooper took up show business in 1947 and rapidly became a top-liner in variety with his turn as the conjuror whose tricks never succeed. He was, without doubt, the most inventive and funny British comedian since Charlie Chaplin. This is a view held not only by his many thousands of followers but by his show-business colleagues as well. Ever since his first professional engagement in 1947, Tommy Cooper's story has been one of success. His unique sense of humour and natural talent for visual presentation have made him into an artiste whose popularity has never waned. Indeed, in August 2004 twenty years after his death, he was voted the funniest Briton of all time in a poll conducted by the Reader's Digest magazine.
It seems that the "great" search engine called Google has ditched this site from its search results. Try typing in "Tommy Cooper" and see for yourself at the ridiculous results that it serves up!! What a laugh!! Number 1 search engine? 'My a**e!' as Jim Royle would say!
