To use the character of Harry Kipper, they experimented with various theatrical formats. They began touring and performing after they were expelled for being "too experimental". Harry and Alf Kipper, the UK comedy duo that originated from the UK, consisted of two distinctive characters. Von Haselberg and Routh, however, often found themselves unable to remember who was "Harry" and who was "Alf," so they dropped the name "Alf" and began using "Harry".
