Leslie Fuller started his concert party “The Ped’lers” in 1919 after being demobbed from the army where he was already an entertainer in the Huntingdonshire Cycling Battalion’s concert parties performing at the Whitby Coliseum Theatre. He then took the concert party to Margate performing at the Clifton Hall attached to the Baths. They performed there almost every summer throughout 1924 to until the outbreak of WW2 and also toured the Stoll circuit in the winter including London’s Coliseum and Alhambra. Leslie revived The Ped’lers again in 1946. he died in 1948 at Margate.
