Brough’s father Arthur was a ventriloquist and a frequent performer on the variety stages around London. Brough senior gave up performing in the early 1920s and concentrated on a textile business. Young Peter left school at 15 and worked for a Bayswater department store called Whiteleys, first as an errand boy and later as a counter salesman. He emulated his father by developing his ventriloquist skills, which he continued to practise whilst working at Whiteleys. Early press reports show Brough entertaining the patients at Acton hospital on Christmas Day, 1935. He continued entertaining at clubs and at concerts in the Acton area and by 1939 he was becoming a regular on the variety stage. His stage performances increased and in 1941 he was described as “England's Most Successful Young Ventriloquist”. He acted as a compere in the 1940 film Cavalcade of Variety featuring Billy Cotton and his band.The most expensive item with a signature of Peter Brough (Morecambe and Wise/Peter Brough - Signed Vintage Page - HandSigned and Genuine) was sold in January 2014 for £87.00 while the cheapest item (Signed Peter Brough 1916-1999 English Comedian Ventriloquist Archie Andrews 50s) found a new owner for £0.99 in November 2020.
