Dick Henderson (1891-1958) was a rotund bowler-hatted English comedian and character actor, who began in music hall. He was born in Hull, East Yorkshire. He was reputed to be the first comic to finish his act with a straight song. He spent some time in the United States from the late twenties and made several Vitaphone shorts. He was the father of the comedian Dickie Henderson, who appeared as his son in Things Are Looking Up (1935).
