Cannon and Ball is a British comedy duo consisting of Tommy Cannon (born 1938) (real name Thomas Derbyshire) and Bobby Ball (born 1944) (real name Robert Harper). In the 1980s, they were the highest paid act in British comedy, filling the void left by Morecambe and Wise. As the mood of mainstream comedy moved away from slapstick and silly voices and into more controversial areas, however, their popularity waned, and, unlike Morecambe and Wise, now appears dated. The pair are now devout christians.

Catchphrases:- "Rock on Tommy", "You little liar"
