Albert Burdon (4 July 1900–13 April 1981) was a British actor and comedian,
He was born in South Shields, County Durham.[1] He started his career playing in provincial revues, and was spotted by C. B. Cochran who gave him a part in the Rodgers and Hart musical Ever Green at the Adelphi Theatre in London in 1930.[1]
Although he was described by Roy Hudd as "a master of physical comedy",[2] Burdon never became a star in London, though he did take prominent roles in a series of pantomimes at the Lyceum Theatre in the 1930s. He made nine films, including It's a Boy (1933), and continued to perform on stage until the late 1950s, in later years with his son, Bryan Burdon.[1][2]
