Les Dawson

Les Dawson (1934-1993) was a British comedian and author of fiction and non-fiction books. He was known for his deadpan style and roasting his mother-in-law and wife. After getting his jaw broken a boxing match, Dawson was able to pull grotesque faces by pulling his jaw over his upper lip. While best known for his work on British television, Les was saddened that people only thought of him as an entertainer. He wanted his second wife, Tracy, to always remind his fans that he was a writer too.
