I remember seeing Ray at the Crucible in the early nineties in the play Sheffield Blitz or something similar. It was mostly about the bombing of the Marples.

RichardB Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Entertainment * Arthur Baynes, aka Stainless Stephen, Music hall comedian Stainless Stephen hailed from Sheffield, the centre of Britain's steel industry, and accordingly he kits himself out in a cozzy that looks suspiciously like fetish gear: a gleaming stainless-steel waistcoat, white bow tie and a bowler with a steel hatband. The stainless one's speciality consists of a monologue in which he speaks the punctuation marks: 'This is Stainless Stephen comma comedian question mark.' For a wow finish, his waistcoat buttons light up and his bow tie revolves! As seen here, Stainless Stephen had a slight physical resemblance to Ed Wynn. Off the stage, he worked full-time as a schoolteacher, and so he could only perform during school holidays. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 As a postscript to his career Stainless Stephen appeared as a guest on Frost on Saturday on ITV on 15th November 1969. This edition being dedicated to the history of British Broadcasting to mark the first evening of colour TV transmissions on ITV. In the show the comedian gave the television audience a sample of his somewhat unusual comedy routine. This programme survives intact in the ITV archives and is available on DVD.[2] In his younger days, Baynes was a racing cyclist and continued to have an interest in cycling throughout his life. His cycle racing medals are on display in the Sheffield United FC museum together with other Sharrow cycling club trophies. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Clive was also a follower of the Rams and has an immaculate programme and menu of a supper held on October 1, 1934, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Derby County Football Club, held at the Drill Hall, Derby. The guests included some of the great and the good who at that time were associated with football, including president Bendle Moore, vice-presidents Samuel Johnson and Oswald Jackson, directors H T Ann, J H Follows, Joseph Lilley, George Pattison and Captain F E F Wright, manager George Jobey and secretary W S Moore. The toast to the Football Association and the Football League was given by Judge Longson with response by John McKenna, and the football club was toasted by J H Thomas, Labour MP for Derby at the time. Two years later, he was to be expelled from the party. According to the menu, it was a supper which would be the envy of any sporting occasion today. It began with fresh lobster and mayonnaise, followed by a choice of fricassee of chicken, roast turkey, roast duckling and cherry sauce, York ham, ox tongue, galantine of veal or grouse pie with Russian and tomato salads. Then came ices, trifle, meringues and cream, chartreuse of fruits, stilton cheese and coffee. The wine list included Barsac and Burgundy, Cliquot and Scotch whisky. Laughed Clive Wildsmith: “Not a bad selection was it?” There is no indication how much the banquet cost. A musical programme followed. The various “artistes” included Miss Winnie Twells, Miss Maude Coxon and Mr J Morris Twells, accompanied at the piano by Gladys Whitfield and Mary Twells. The final entertainer was someone mysteriously named Stainless Stephen. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
