Richard Henderson (20 March 1891 – 15 October 1958) was an English music hall comedian, singer and character actor.

He was heavily built, smoked a cigar on stage, and wore tight suits to emphasise his girth, together with ill-matched shoes and a bowler hat several sizes too small.

[1] He found success with his quick-fire patter, often joking in a marked Yorkshire accent about his fictional wife or mother-in-law.

They had twin daughters, Winifred (Wyn) and Clare (known as Triss) in 1920; they became singers and dancers with the Jack Hylton orchestra.

[1] Dick Henderson died in Paddington, London in 1958, aged 67 and was buried at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Kensal Green.
