Little and Large were a British comedy double act comprising straight man Syd Little (born Cyril John Mead; 19 December 1942) and comic Eddie Large (born Edward Hugh McGinnis; 25 June 1941 – 2 April 2020).

They formed their partnership in 1962, originally appearing as singers in local pubs around north-west England.

[1] The origin of their name comes from the fact that Syd Little was skinny, contrasting to the girthy Eddie Large.

Eddie Large performed a number of impressions, particularly cartoon characters like Popeye, Deputy Dawg, Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble and Woody Woodpecker,[5] while Syd Little simply stood next to him, looking perplexed and distressed.

On 2 April 2020, Eddie Large died after contracting coronavirus while receiving treatment for heart failure.
