catbirdseat Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 That may be so, but it still is great deadpan humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraysovereign Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 CBC Radio used to do a summer comedy series, and a perrenial favourite was a recording of Gerard Hoffnung reading "The Bricklayer's Letter" at the Oxford Union. Hysterically funny delivery, just seemed to keep getting funnier every time you heard it. I think the recording was made some time in the late 60s or early 70s (?) so this story has been around for quite a while. You can order a BBC recording of various Hoffnung bits, including "The Bricklayer's Letter", here , or just set your radio to the CBC and wait for them to play it again.
