Leonard Insull (1883–1974) was Britain's leading ventriloquial figure maker of the twentieth century.[1] He created many hundreds of items for Lewis Davenport Ltd.
Born in Wolverhampton, Insull trained as a joiner before entering showbusiness as a magician, "Hinsle, the Comedy Illusionist". He worked with his son, also Leonard, to construct ventriloquist's dummies until his son's death in 1957.[2] His noted figures include Lord Charles for Ray Allen and Archie Andrews for Peter Brough.[3]
