Description: The Incomparable Thomas Frederick Cooper (Tommy) was born March 19, 1921, Caerphilly, Wales. For over thirty years Tommy was a colossus in the world of comedy entertainment. Tommy Cooper took up show business in 1947 and rapidly became a top-liner in variety with his turn as the conjuror whose tricks never succeed. He was, without doubt, the most inventive and funny British comedian since Charlie Chaplin.
