Stanley Unwin was unique among British comedians in that he invented his own language, Unwinese, with which he entertained audiences from the 1940s until his death in 2002. Continuing his book-length studies of the British comedy fraternity, Anthony Slide discusses in detail Stanley Unwin’s life and career, including his years as a BBC engineer prior to embarking on a new career as a comedian, at first with the BBC. The text may not be totally in “basic engly twenty fido,” as Stanley Unwin would have described it, but there is enough Unwinese here to satisfy all of his fans, and, hopefully, to entertain new ones.
