Benny Hill was more bawdy type humor. I've listened on the radio to British music hall comedy but to tell you the truth I just couldn't understand it. One of the funniest British movies I ever saw was supposedly based on a true incident. Apparently there was once a "domination" sex club for upper class old Brits. It was a place where rich old men would go to pay women to hit them and whip them. Some of these gentlemen were actually members of Parliament. Anyway, the women needed to remodel their club but couldn't afford to do it because of the high labor costs. Then one of them got the bright idea to make their old clients do the remodeling and the next thing the women were whipping and beating the men (who were paying the women) to plaster, tile, and repaint their club. Anyway, I heard this was based on a true story. Oh, and the men loved this new form of "torture."
