I like to write a bit about comedy, perhaps contribute to NewsBiscuit.com and perhaps I even fancy myself as a standup...

[singlepic=24,320,240,,right]Frankie Howerd’s last resting place is up for sale, with the property expected to raise £800,000 and a further £600,000 on Howerd memorabilia.

Chris Byrne is the manager of Howerd’s estate and currently lives at the property with Dennis Heymer, Frankie’s partner.

He said more than 20,000 people had visited the house over the years, but it was time to “move on and have a clean break”.

He added: “It’s a one-off house, with the setting and the grounds.

“But the archives will boggle people’s minds. We’ve got paintings, Frank’s X-rays, his school reports and his war papers.

“We’ve even got a hernia belt and the couch where he died.”

If that doesn’t get your cheque book itchy… well it doesn’t mine, either. Still, looks a nice house.

You like pink, don’t you?
