Hal Roach (4 November 1927 – 28 February 2012) was a prominent Irish comedian. He spent over 60 years in show business, and was featured in the ''Guinness Book of Records'' for the longest-running engagement of a comedian at the same venue: 26 years at Jury's Irish Cabaret, Jury's Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin.〔The Val and Hal show, ''Daily Mail'', London - 8 February 2007〕 ==Career== Born John Roach in Waterford, where he attended the Manor C.B.S., school. He began his career after winning a local talent competition as a boy soprano. He initially toured with an illusionist and specialised in magic, but later moved to comedy.〔(Hal Roach’s success has been no magic act ), Rita Charleston, ''Northeast Times'', Philadelphia, 11 March 2004〕 A typical Hal Roach joke is as follows: "He told me that I have a cult following, at least I think that's what he said". Another- "There is a man sitting in the middle of the road casting his fishing line... now none of us is perfect, but c'mon! So I asked him, "How many have you caught today?" He said, "You're the ninth." Perhaps his most famous catchphrase is "Write it down, it's a good one!". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hal Roach (comedian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
