Jackie Wright

Jackie Wright was a Northern Irish comedian closely associated with The Benny Hill Show. Often introduced as Little Jackie, he became a familiar supporting performer in the series’ visual gags and rapid-motion sequences. His short stature and bald head were frequently incorporated into the comedy.

Wright worked in the motor trade before returning to Belfast and pursuing entertainment as a musician and supporting comic. He moved into television work in the 1960s and joined Hill’s troupe. His other appearances included comedy programs with Dick Emery and Frankie Howerd’s Whoops Baghdad.
