Vic Oliver Facts
Was the first ever 'castaway' to appear on the long-running BBC radio series Desert Island Discs. He was introduced as a "comedian, lightning club manipulator, violinist and comedy trick cyclist". The show was recorded in the BBC's bomb-damaged studio in January 1942.
Son of Baron Victor von Samek but he relinquished his father's title in 1922
After emigrating to the US, he played piano in restaurants, bars, and movie theaters. One day he announced that a charity collection would be taken during the intermission at a theater where he was performing. His English was still poor, and he ended with the words "I shall now come down and go through you all." Laughter and large donations followed, and his career in comedy had inadvertently begun.
