which comedian said 'it's in the book it's all in the book' early 60's?

Question

My 80 year old mother has been trying to remember who this comic was. I do remember that my late father had an EP with funny sketches from this guy!

Answer 1

Could be the late great Bob Monkhouse. He had all the jokes he had ever used in several volumes by the time he died.

Answer 2

Paul Dixon of the Paul Dixon Show out of Cincinnati, Ohio. When Paul did his Preacher Comedy Skit. in the 1960`s and early 1970`s

Answer 3

This is driving me mad! Wish hadn't logged on now! I'm going to ask my dad when I can get hold of him cos I have a feeling he will know this. It certainly is familiar and I can see someone like Bruce Forsyth saying 'it's all in the book, dear". However I will re-answer if I can get definite answer.

Answer 4

I believe you may be referring to Brother Dave Gardner
