Albert Frederick Modley (3 March 1901 – 23 February 1979) was an English variety entertainer and comedian.

His father, known as 'Professor Modley', ran a gymnasium, and gave exhibitions presenting strongmen such as Eugen Sandow.

[1][2] Albert Modley won amateur boxing and diving competitions as a youth, but did not follow his father's profession as a physical trainer.

[3] Instead, he began work as a delivery boy and then as a railway porter, entertaining in local pubs in his spare time.

[1] Wearing an oversized peaked cap, and described as "one of the finest Yorkshire dialect comedians",[1] he appeared in a wide variety of revues, pantomimes, and summer shows.
