EDITORS COMMENTS
Will Evans, the Eccentric Comedian and Farmer: A Unique Blend of Humor and Agriculture, circa 1911 Will Evans, an eccentric and beloved comedian of the music halls, is seen here in a rare moment away from the stage, tending to his beloved cows on his farm. Born in 1866, Evans began his career in pantomime at a young age and quickly rose to fame with his solo sketches, "Papering A House" and "Whitewashing A Ceiling." His unique brand of comedy, filled with slapstick humor and physical comedy, captivated audiences and made him a household name in the world of entertainment. Despite his successful career as a performer, Evans was also a passionate farmer, owning many acres of land. In this photograph, he is seen sharing a tender moment with two of his dairy cows, a testament to his love for the rural life. The serene setting of the farm provides a stark contrast to the chaotic and lively performances that made Evans a star on the music halls. Evans' eccentric personality and versatility as an artist are evident in this image. The comedian, dressed in a simple farmer's smock, is a far cry from the flamboyant and colorful costumes he donned on stage. The kiss he bestows upon one of the cows adds a whimsical touch to the photograph, further emphasizing the unique blend of humor and agriculture that defined his life. This photograph, taken circa 1911, offers a glimpse into the personal life of a man who captivated audiences with his comedy sketches while also finding joy and fulfillment in the simple pleasures of farming. The image is a reminder that behind the laughter and applause, Will Evans was a man with many passions and talents, both on and off the stage.
