Little Tich (1867-1928) was a famous North London Music Hall artist.

In this routine, filmed with primitive sound for the Paris Exposition of 1900, he performs his Big Boot Dance.

Quite a lot of the routine is very inventive and funny and stands up well today. Part of the humour, which makes us relate to him, is that most of his tricks - balancing his hat on his nose, catching his hat on his long shoes, go wrong.

I dare you not to like Tich and his routine.

Enjoy!
