Max Wall (12 March 1908–21 May 1990) was the stage name of English comedian Maxwell Lorimer. His performing career covered theatre, films and television. Wall made his stage debut at the age of 14 as an acrobatic dancer in a pantomime, but is best remembered for his ludicrously attired and hilariously strutting Professor Wallofski. This creation notably influenced John Cleese, who has acknowledged Max Wall's influence on the creation of his own Ministry of Silly Walks sketch for Monty Python. <
