Tony Lidington plays the entertainer Max Wall in this series of shows recorded before an invited audience at the Concert Artistes' Association in Covent Garden. Max describes his invention of the character Prof Wallowski, dressed in a ridiculous bald wig, indecent black tights, green waistcoat and big shoes. But by the 1950s, Max's career is in decline.
