Egypt, 1946. Two young men are entertaining the troops, flexing their comic muscles as they master their craft. Tommy Cooper - tall, original, a comic genius. Frankie Lyons - short, cheeky, down-to-earth comic. Thrown together they forge an unlikely and ill-fated double act. This is a true account of Tommy Cooper's early years, charting his beginnings as a comedy legend, written by Frankie's son. Frankie and Tommy ingeniously combines the well-loved magic routines and unique comedy with a deeply poignant insight into a giant of a comedian.
