Tommy Lorne (born Hugh Gallagher Corcoran; 7 December 1890 – 17 April 1935) was a Scottish music hall comedian of the 1920s.

[1] He joined a local minstrel troupe as a boy, and made his first music hall appearance in 1904, in a talent show run by George Formby Sr. Before becoming a full-time entertainer, he worked in a steelworks drawing office.

[2] In 1916, Lorne joined the army, serving in India and Afghanistan, and when discharged in 1920 became a comedian in Harry McKelvie's company, performing in revues and pantomimes.

He quickly became popular as a comic entertainer in Scotland, and developed a distinct and instantly recognisable act and style.

In 1924, he made a record-breaking tour of Scotland with a revue, Froth, that also featured the Houston sisters when it played in Glasgow.
