Never A Dull Moment

Scion of brit comedy royalty. swinging london scenester. rod confidant. French superstar. Womble... the eventful career of Robin Le Mesurier.

- Peter Watts

Although Robin le Mesurier is the son of two of the uK’s most beloved comic actors – Dad’s Army’s John le Mesurier and Carry On’s hattie Jacques – he always wanted to tread the stage as a musician. “It was a pretty musical household,” recalls the guitarist, who has just written an autobiography. “Mum would sing when she was working at the Players’ theatre in vaudeville and dad always said he’d rather have been a pianist than an actor. their friends were musicians, too. Spike Milligan was a trumpet player and when he came round I’d often be woken up by them jamming downstairs.”
