Max Miller

1. Max Miller (November 21, 1894 – May 7, 1963), the "Cheeky Chappie", was a 1930s English music hall comedian famous for his daringly risqué (for the period) repertoire (see Censorship) and gaudy suits.
Born in Hereford Street, Brighton as Thomas Henry Sargent, Miller became notorious for his double entendre based humour, which at the time saw him banned from the BBC on more than one occasion. His jokes were ostensibly written in two notebooks, a white notebook for 'clean' humour, and a blue one for 'adult' jokes.
