About Terry Scanlon
- Terry Scanlon (5 July 1913 – 21 August 1996) was an Australian comedian and pantomime artist.
- He was one of Australia's top comedians; he worked with some of the early greats of Australian comedy, including Roy Rene and George Wallace.
- In the 1930s, however, he was one of the vanguard to modernise comedy out of baggy suits, funny face make up and slapstick into the more modern stand up style comedian - in a tailored suit, the only prop a cigarette in hand, delivering gags.
- His role in the evolution of Australian comedy was acknowledged in a tribute by Joe Martin when he was honoured as a life member of the "ECHINDAS" by his peers years later.
