Douglas Byng

Douglas Coy Byng was an English comic singer and songwriter in West End theatre, revue and cabaret. Billed as "Bawdy but British", Byng was known for his female impersonations. His songs are full of sexual innuendo and double entendres. Due to the prejudices of the law and of the public at that time, Byng was a closeted gay performer. He was known for his camp performances in the music halls and in cabaret. Byng made a large number of recordings, many of which have been transferred to CD.
