Russ Abbot, who was once one of the BBC’s biggest stars, has opened up about leaving showbiz behind – saying his brand of comedy fell out of fashion when “alternative” comics and “political correctness came in”.
The retired comedian, 78, first rose to fame as a singer and drummer in British comedy show band, the Black Abbots, before he moved into TV presenting, hosting Russ Abbot’s Madhouse and The Russ Abbot Show for the BBC in the Eighties.
