A Series of British Comedy Legends With Which Americans Might Not Be Familiar

In the latest episode of the BBC America web series Anglophenia, host Siobhan Thompson shares some British comedy legends she doesn’t think Americans are likely to be familiar with. Astute comedy nerds are probably familiar with Stewart Lee and the radio program Just a Minute, but Thompson includes many performers and shows that, despite huge popularity in the United Kingdom, never managed to gain fame in the United States.
