Portrait photographer Trevor Leighton has been taking photographs of the rich and famous. Unsurprisingly, he has built up an impressive portfolio that reads like a Who's Who of show business. His photography relies on capturing the way people look at a certain time, and the way they reveal themselves through their expressions. And no one would argue that those who reveal themselves the most this way are the comedians - the jokers - that have brought smiles to all our faces in recent years. The Jokers compiles 100 of Trevor Leighton's portraits of those who make us laugh - not just the men and women who make their livings from comedy, but those who have that uncanny knack of being funny in any given situations. From hardy perennials like Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese to modern favourites like Jack Dee and Vic Reeves, The Jokers views like a compendium of British comedy.
