Belfast legend Jackie Wright (Benny Hill show) on stage with the Dead Boys.... "Stiv Bators performing with The Dead Boys at the Stick Ball, NYC, on October 20, 1979, on a double bill with Cheetah Chrome & The Casualties. Also seen on stage is Jackie Wright, the cult Irish comedian who used to play the grandpa who always got his bald head patted by Benny Hill since the mid-’60s in “The Benny Hill Show” (photo by Emily Armstrong). How these two ended up on stage, I can’t say but if anyone knows and cares to explain, please be my guest !!
