You know the old compliment, "I’d listen to him read the telephone book aloud"? Comedy performer Saul Henry is taking it very literally.

Swapping the comedy circuit for a microphone and a 1939 London telephone directory, Saul abandons his trademark irreverence to deliver the ultimate exercise in deadpan restraint.

No chat, no analysis, and zero punchlines, this effortlessly engaging MC is sitting down to simply read a vintage phonebook, line by line. It’s a brilliant collision between a naturally warm comedian and the driest source material on earth, resulting in an oddly hypnotic, deeply soothing auditory time capsule.

    5. An Assembly of Abbotts: Abbott George S Ltd to Abbotts Mrs F

    Episode 5 picks up exactly where the alphabet left us in the 1939 London telephone directory. Settle in for another instalment of vintage phone numbers, addresses and soft narration.

    There ought to be a collective noun for a group of Abbots, a conclave would be the obvious choice... but I do prefer the alliteration of An Assembly of Abbots. Or in this instance Abbotts with a double B AND a double T!

    4. Abbitt & Abbott; sounding like a classic comedy duo that never was
    2026/06/28

    In this fourth instalment of London: Please Hold, comedian Saul Henry continues his hypnotic, line-by-line reading of the August 1939 London Telephone Directory. Picking up exactly where we left off—climbing out from the bottom of the Abbisses—we wade deeper into the 'Ab's, making our way steadily (but very slowly) toward the 'Ac's.

    Along the way, we uncover a strangely soothing litany of pre-war businesses, military personnel, hotels and everyday households going about their lives just months before the outbreak of WWII.
