PETER COOK T-SHIRT

A famous comedian t-shirt available in black cotton.

'Everything I've Ever Told You Is A Lie. Including That.'

Wickedly witty, sharply satirical, and effortlessly absurd, Peter Cook was the towering genius of British comedy. Whether as part of the groundbreaking revue Beyond the Fringe, his surreal partnership with Dudley Moore, or his fearless lampooning of politics, media, and manners, Cook changed the shape of modern comedy forever.

From his days at Cambridge Footlights to co-founding London’s legendary Establishment Club, Cook’s comedy was both anarchic and intellectual — the voice of a generation dismantling the old order with laughter. With Moore, he created Pete and Dud, and later their darker alter-egos Derek and Clive, taking satire to new extremes of filth and brilliance.

“I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.” – Peter Cook

Cook’s style was unmatched: bone-dry delivery, nonsensical logic twisted into genius, and a face that could remain deadpan as the world around him fell apart in laughter. Quotes like, “Everything I’ve ever told you has been a lie. Including that,” show his unique blend of charm, cynicism, and absurdist philosophy.

The Peter Cook T-Shirt captures this icon at his cheeky best — a tribute to the man whose wit was once described as “the funniest of his generation” by none other than Stephen Fry. For fans of British humour, satire, and the art of saying something completely ridiculous with total seriousness, this shirt is essential.
