There is something charming about a fat guy in a tux.

This is based, a bit, on the vibraphone player Teddy Brown, a fixture in English nightclubs and variety stages from the late 1920s to the late 1930s. Two excerpts from his appearance in the revue "Elstree Calling" (1930) are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIxp4om8hzw and even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGXSxR0TS6M
