Frankie Howerd OBE (born Francis Alick Howard, 6 March 1917 – 18 April 1992), was an English comedian and comic actor whose career, described by Barry Cryer as 'a series of comebacks', spanned six decades.

He was educated at Shooters Hill Grammar School in Woolwich, London. His first appearance on stage was at age 13 <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Frankie+Ho
