Marriott Edgar's monologue Albert and the Lion was so successful that several more were written featuring the intrepid lad, including this one by Stanley Lupino. I have modified this text (with an illustration by the incomparable Bill Tidy).
Two other monologues featuring the Ramsbottoms are The Runcorn Ferry and The Jubilee Sov'rin. These have now been recorded and will be published during 2026.
More about other comic monologues on my website, and how I began to perform them.
Abaht them 'ere monologues lists all of Marriott Edgar's poems with links to their texts, plus a few by other authors.
