David Morris (5 July 1896 – 8 June 1960) was a British music hall comedian who made a successful transition to radio and television.

He lived in the Blackpool area from the early 1930s, and in 1940 began a thirteen-year run in the resort's summer season shows, starting at the North Pier, as a northern comic in his famous straw hat and very thick glasses.

[3] The radio series Club Night was launched in the BBC Home Service north region on 7 November 1950 where it ran for 52 editions until 6 June 1955.

With his trademark cigar, straw hat and glasses, Dave Morris was the somewhat loudmouthed 'know all' club treasurer, ably assisted by Gladwin as Cedric and by Liverpool comedian Fred Ferris as 'The Wacker' whose primary ambition seemed to be to scrounge a drink.

[8] Writer Roger Wilmut said of him:Morris has been largely forgotten since his death... partly because of his relative lack of appeal in the south [of England], and also because no recordings seem to have survived of him; he was one of the finest northern comedians.
