March 2024: Our speaker was the upbeat Steve Dimmer whose talk: Ooh matron! a history of the Carry-on films will surely chime with, or tickle many of us. Steve says “One of the most enduring and popular film comedies is the Carry On film. As many as 32 films were made between 1958 and 1992 and their reputation for bawdy fun has never disappeared”.
Steve Dimmer took us through the rise of this beloved series, looking at the lives of some of the main players as well as showing clips from some of them. We also examined why the films began to lose popularity as well as the legacy these hilarious comedies have left behind. If you have a funny bone, this talk was for you!”
Steve stays chipper by giving talks, doing one-man plays and is also a magician. His website societytalks.co.uk gives the flavour of his repertoire.
