John Bardon (not as jim branning)

I don't watch eastenders, but I know he is in it it as jim branning, that he has had a stroke etc etc.

At the back of my mind tho, I am sort of sure that before his jim branning days, he also made a living as a max miller tribute act - at any rate, had something to do with max miller and keeping his memory alive.

Does this ring bells with anyone else?

He played Max Miller in a TV show called Here's a Funny Thing

And there's this:

Ta for that. I would suspect it was more than that TV show though, which does seem likely if he was chosen to play that part.

"JB: I did a one-man show about a comedian called Max Miller. I did it for five years, eight weeks in the West End, and showed it all over the place"

that's a quote from this interview here

That sounds like what I remember. Ta
