A former zookeeper and cabaret performer who was once described as the ‘bad taste king’ for his act which involved stuffing live rats down his pants has died at the age of 79.
Ken Edwards, from Glossop but spent most of his life in Hyde, made a name for himself in the 1980s as one half of the variety act ‘Ratman and Robin’.
As the ‘Ratman’ himself, Ken would often bemuse audiences by eating live cockroaches on stage and putting rats down his trousers.
