Hope and Keen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike Hope and Albie Keen were a British comedy double act. Cousins, the sons of British variety comedians Syd and Max Harrison, they first formed their act in 1956.

In 1971 they were enaged for the West End show Meet Me In London at the Adelphi Theatre. This was a ten-week ‘fill-in’- put on by impresario Harold Fielding after Charlie Girl closed at short notice and he was getting together a production of Show Boat.

Hope and Keen had a spot in the first half. When the other star of this part of the show Clodagh Rogers walked out fifteen minutes before curtain-up on the first night after one of her numbers was cut they valiantly filled in in her place for several nights before another singer came in.
