The now deceased short and fat English slapstick ‘comedian’ who during his 1588 Plymouth summer season at the ‘Winter Gardens’ played a game of bowls rather than deal with a call from the King of Spain.

Not to be confused with the 21st century comedian, David Cameron who, according to Rebecca Brookes’ old man, played a game of tennis rather than deal with a call from the President of the United States.

Note: Going down to Plymouth and asking people if they have ever seen the ‘Plymouth Hoe’ is not a good idea!
