This is all very interesting. I find the inter war (both of them)and post war periods fascinating. I've been looking up some of the performers. I wonder if anyone had the pleasure of seeing 'Two Ton Tessa O'Shea'. https://vaudeville-postcards.com/postcards/c28-chiswick-empire.html. JOE LAWMAN (1909-1977) Comedian, singer, pantomime dame. lawman-joe-fvs-tivoli-102Joe Lawman started out as a child clog dancer, and later worked for Clay’s Bridge Theatre Co before making his Tivoli debut in 1930. After playing Nat Phillips‘ off-sider in the Whirligigs Co, he spent almost a decade touring with Stella Lamond.  A popular Tivoli comedian and pantomime dame during the war years, Lawman appeared on radio from as early as 1934, and featured in many community concert broadcasts. He also appeared in at least one film, That Certain Something (1941), and during the early 1940s performed in cinemas in association with Linn Smith [below] and his Trocadero Dance Band. Lawman and his second wife, Joy Robbins worked in Great Britain for ten years beginning 1945.
