This month Robert has articles in three best-selling nostalgia magazines. He’s back in Best of British, with a festive look at the Christmas comedy special, from The Goon Show to Gavin & Stacey. In the first of an occasional series of Past Masters of Comedy for Infinity magazine, Robert profiles that pantomime dame extraordinaire Arthur Askey. It’s in issue 31, which also includes our good friend Mick Clews’ salute to Phil Silvers. Finally, in Yours Retro issue 32, Robert reveals the amazing facts of when Elton John met Elvis Presley! All are on sale at newsagents now.

And talking of magazines, we are chuffed to have brought back an old favourite. Cor! was Robert’s fanzine from when he was a baby comedy historian! Dormant for twenty-two years, it’s now resurrected as an on-line publication. The all-new issue one includes The Goodies at Christmas, a centenary tribute to Carry On director Gerald Thomas, and a brand new and exclusive interview with Barry Cryer, including his 2020 message for the nation! Cor! is priced at just £2.50, and you can pick up your copy by clicking this link

You can buy Robert’s books and plays on our Facebook Page – they make the perfect Christmas stocking filler. 

Robert and Gemma will be hosting a Christmas Comedy chat on Tuesday, 22nd December over on Robert’s Facebook Page. Have your questions ready for when we go live & lively, from 7pm.
