== Early life ==
He was born in Cremorne, Sydney. As a schoolboy, he started singing professionally. While a student at Katoomba (NSW), Skeggs learned voice production and microphone technique and enjoyed singing with bands conducted by his mother, Ethel. At age 11, he won a talent contest called Australia's Amateur Hour and the local paper ran a story likening him to Nelson Eddy. Bruce got singing engagements, mainly entertaining sick and wounded soldiers, during World War II. Following his mother's untimely death, Skeggs was raised by his mother's relatives in Sydney for at least two years, and then by his father's relatives in Adelaide. He attended Nailsworth Technical School in South Australia where he was educated to intermediate level. Through his uncle, Bob Skeggs, who trained pacers and trotters, Skeggs developed a lifelong interest in harness racing. He often assisted his uncle in training the horses on the beach. As a teenager he appeared on the Quiz Kids program, conducted by John Dees on the Adelaide radio station 5DN. At age 16 he won a cartooning contest run by the Adelaide News afternoon tabloid. He moved to Melbourne seeking work as a cartoonist with Smith's Weekly.
