Biography
While attending East 15 Acting School, Martin von Haselberg and Brian Routh invented a character they called Harry Kipper.
Upon being expelled from the school on the claim of "too experimental", they began working as a touring act. They were originally called Harry and Alf Kipper and had two distinctly different characters. Later, they dropped the name Alf and decided to call each other Harry and make their characters identical.[1]
From 1971 to 1975, most of their performances took place in Europe.[
