Gig Prince

Gig Prince was a club comic who auditioned for Ralph Lancaster for a spot at the Gatsby Club. His deadpan style of comedy and his choice of material about wives and mother-in-laws was very much in the style of Les Dawson and his routine went down well with Rita Littlewood who was awaiting her audition but, more importantly, also with Mr Lancaster who signed him up. Perhaps appreciative of her laughter, Gig asked if he could stay and watch Rita’s own (equally successful) audition.
