Born at 50 Wigan Road, Aspull, Greater Manchester on 30th January 1901. Frank (Frank Randle) was a childhood friend of George Formby and both of them went on to become legends of their time. Frank was just 15 when he first appeared in the theatre as an acrobatic artist (under the name Arthur Twist). It wasn't until 15 years later though that he achieved great popularity as a music hall comedian, whose wild and manic temperament brought a new style of quite risque, if not downright vulgar comedy to the stage.
