Career
Described as "almost certainly the last of Scotland"s great music hall comedians". He played to packed houses all over his country from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, when he had to semi-retire on the grounds of ill health. Known as "Sexy Lex" for his risque but never obscene humour.
His act was even passed by the Lord Chamberlain.
At the peak of his popularity in the 1960s he appeared in the British Broadcasting Corporation Scotland comedy series Lex and Lex Again. A huge fan of Rangers, he even had Ibrox legend George Young guest on his television show.
