"Honest vulgarity is the central tradition of English humour" (Kenneth Williams) Kenneth Charles Williams was born at St Pancras Hospital, London on February 22nd 1926. Kenny will certainly be remembered best for his 26 appearances in the 31 'Carry On' movies; along with Sid James (who appeared in 19 of the films) he will be constantly recognised as a King of British Comedy. But there was far more to Kenneth than just the seaside postcard humour of 'Carry On' <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/
