Background
He regularly performed on the London revue and cabaret circuit, performing impressions of singers and actors. One of his most popular impressions was of the Prince of Wales, although the Lord Chamberlain said that it was most undesirable and in very bad taste, he had no powers to prevent performances in nightclubs, though Afrique dropped the impersonation soon afterwards.
