Ernie Wise
Ernest Wiseman OBE was an English comedian better known by his stage name Ernie Wise. He took to the stage alongside his semi-professional music hall performer father as a child, but soon outgrew their double act. He formed a close friendship, and later on-stage pairing, with newcomer John Eric Batholomew: they would soon achieve national stardom under their stage names, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, becoming TV royalty during the 1960s and 70s.
