Finding Our Funny Roots - Black Country Humour with Marlene Watson

Humour is an intrinsic part of the Black Country’s tradition, community and values. Some of the UK’s most celebrated comedians hail from the region. With funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund (during 2019 - 2020) we aimed to 'Find Our Funny Roots'. We enlisted a team of local volunteers and our friends at the University of Wolverhampton, to go out and meet people to research stories of the Black Country comedians of the past, such as Tommy Mundon and Dolly Allen, and collect stories of what makes us laugh in the Black Country. In this video performer Marlene Watson a.k.a. Black Country Wench tells us about funny overheard conversations. Website: https://www.creativeblackcountry.co.u...
