George "Sanford" Bradbury (1869—1950) and George "Lyons" Jennings (1872—1911), known as Sanford and Lyons, were popular English music hall comedians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1]
They were best known for their simultaneous dance and comedy routines, gaining popularity throughout the provinces and in London's variety theatres, where they enjoyed great success at the Oxford Music Hall and at the Tivoli Theatre of Varieties. The pair also performed for King George V and Queen Mary (then the Prince and Princess of Wales) at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.[2]
Among their audiences was a young Charlie Chaplin, who shares reminisces of Sanford and Lyons in his travel writings A Comedian Sees the World, first published in 1932.[3]
At the conclusion of their career The Music Hall and Theatre Review commended Sanford and Lyons for creating "a style that was extensively copied".[1]
