Clapham and Dwyer
Clapham and Dwyer, Charles Clapham (1894-1959) and Bill Dwyer (1891-1943), were a British comedy duo in the 1920s and 1930s.[1]
In February 1929, they appeared in two early short films made in the Lee DeForest Phonofilm sound-on-film process.
They were banned by BBC Radio for allegedly broadcasting an improper joke. However there are differing accounts of what the joke actually was. [2][3]
