Titter Ye Not: The Frankie Howerd Archive Graham McCann
Event details
In 2021, the University of York’s Borthwick Institute for Archives acquired the archive of York-born comedy legend Frankie Howerd (1917-1992).
Join this session with leading film and TV writer Graham McCann for:
- Original scripts, correspondence and contracts spanning the whole of Frankie Howerd’s career;
- Rare and unseen items from the archive live on screen;
- And contributions from experts that will reveal new insights into the life and career of one of Britain’s best loved entertainers.
This event will take place live on Zoom Webinar. You’ll receive a link to join a couple of days before the event takes place and a reminder an hour before. During the event, you can ask questions via a Q&A function, but audience cameras and microphones will remain muted throughout.
