His trademark rubber-neck dance, skeletal frame and peculiar speech impediment made him a formidable and funny comedian and pantomime dame.<ref name="SUK:RaTP">{{cite web |url=http://www.swalwelluk.co.uk/picpages/pic-radioij.html |title=Radio and Television Personalities |work=Swalwell}}</ref> His later years were spent as a character actor in film and television, and appearing in pantomime. Jackley appeared in three [[Royal Variety Performance|Royal Variety shows]], topping the bill in summer shows throughout [[Seaside resort|Britain's seaside resorts]] and in [[London]].<ref name="IBY:BotWD" />

==Early life==
A native of [[Sunderland, Tyne and Wear|Sunderland]], he was born into a theatrical family. His father George Jackley (1885–1950) was a comic actor who was the leading comedian for the Melville Brothers at the [[Lyceum Theatre, London|Lyceum Theatre]] during the interwar years.<ref name="IBY:BotWD"/> George himself was the son of Nathan Jackley who, with his own troupe, The Jackley Wonders, performed in circuses throughout Europe and the United States.<ref name="IBY:BotWD"/> Nat's brother David was an actor, while another brother, Ronald, performed in variety with his wife, singer [[Mary Lee (singer)|Mary Lee]].<ref name="BFI:NJ"/> Nat began his showbusiness career at the age of eight, in the [[circus]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Dixon|first=Stephen|date=2013|title=Nat Jackley|url=http://voices-of-variety.com/nat-jackley/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-08-14|website=Voices of Variety|language=en-US}}</ref>

Upon leaving school, Jackley worked as a seed packer, later recalling: "I'd just left school and I had an idea I wasn't going to be any good in show business, so I went as a dispatch clerk for a seed firm. I used to have to supply all these farms with seed potatoes and things. One farm wanted a lorryload of seed potatoes and then a lady got on wanting just one packet of polyanthas narcissi. Well, I got the addresses mixed up and the woman got the lorryload of seed potatoes and the farm got the flower seeds and I got the sack. So I went back on the stage again."<ref name=":0" />

==Career==
Nat Jackley began his career in the 1920s as a double act with his sister Joy, and later joined [[The Eight Lancashire Lads]].<ref name="IBY:BotWD" /> He teamed up as the 'straight man' to comedian Jack Clifford, but they later swapped roles.<ref name="IBY:BotWD" /> In addition to his first wife, he worked with several other feeds, but ultimately made his career as a headlining solo comedian.<ref name="IBY:BotWD" /> Like many artists of the time, he entertained troops during [[World War II]].<ref name="BBC:WW2PW">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/57/a6336957.shtml |title=WW2 People's War: Una Bracey Remembers |publisher=BBC |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111112841/http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/57/a6336957.shtml |archivedate=11 November 2012}}</ref>

In 1950, Jackley appeared on television in the programme ''The Symbol of Entertainment Supreme'', consisting of extracts from shows running in [[Blackpool]] at the time, including the revue ''Out of this World'', which he was appearing in at the [[Opera House Theatre, Blackpool|Opera House]].<ref name="I:TSoES">{{cite web|url=http://www.intute.ac.uk/cgi-bin/nwfa.pl?term=nat+jackley&submit=Search&limit=0 |title=Film no: 507 The Symbol of Entertainment Supreme 1950 |work=Intute |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120614022607/http://www.intute.ac.uk/cgi-bin/nwfa.pl?term=nat+jackley&submit=Search&limit=0 |archivedate=14 June 2012 }}</ref> Although he made many appearances on radio and television, the only time Jackley had his own show on television was with the pair of specials ''Nat's in the Belfry'' on BBC TV in 1956.<ref name="SUK:RaTP" /><ref name="MemTV:NitB">{{cite web|title=Nat's in the Belfry |publisher=Memorable TV |accessdate=10 July 2012 |url=http://www.memorabletv.com/uk-tv/nats-in-the-belfry/ |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121007225524/http://www.memorabletv.com/uk-tv/nats-in-the-belfry/ |archivedate=7 October 2012 }}</ref> The same year, he appeared in the musical variety film ''[[Stars in Your Eyes]]'', co-starring with [[Pat Kirkwood (actress)|Pat Kirkwood]] and [[Bonar Colleano]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Stars in Your Eyes|url=https://networkonair.com/all-products/3252-stars-in-your-eyes|access-date=2021-08-14|website=Network On Air|language=en}}</ref> In 1957, he appeared in a film for television, ''Revels of 1957'', which again gathered together sections of contemporary Blackpool.

Jackley appeared on television in [[The Beatles]]' ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (film)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'' film in 1967 as Happy Nat the Rubber Man. A scene in which he featured did not make the final cut, and he appears only in a non-speaking role as a passenger on the coach, but his name does appear in the end credits.<ref name="MMT">{{cite web|url=http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/mmt.htm |title=Magical Mystery Tour |work=Television Heaven |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321074414/http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk:80/mmt.htm |archivedate=21 March 2008 }}; {{Cite web|url=http://www.beatles.com/hub/article.php?page=tour&menuItem=the%20films |title=Magical Mystery Tour |publisher=Beatles.com |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070706002558/http://www.beatles.com/hub/article.php?page=tour&menuItem=the%20films |archivedate=6 July 2007}}</ref> In the latter stages of his career, he became a character actor, appearing in such films as ''[[The Ploughman's Lunch]]'' (1984).

==Personal life and death==
Jackley was married three times. His first wife was Hazel Roberts, whom he married in Stoke Newington in 1933.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Index entry|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=IFUzj4DdzDHmdoueW1aymg&scan=1|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS|accessdate=14 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Index entry|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=DYN2K5eHvyTqM0Hx5H8NkQ&scan=1|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS|accessdate=14 August 2021}}</ref> In 1949, Jackley married Marianne Lincoln in [[Marylebone]], London.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Index entry|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=LYtg%2F0zHTOkiaYt%2FBrnW4g&scan=1|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS|accessdate=14 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Index entry|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=1HqspwqMqH56NH%2BxT80lig&scan=1|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS|accessdate=14 August 2021}}</ref> She was a scriptwriter, providing some of his material, and became his comedy foil. Author and actor [[Michael Kilgarriff]] later wrote of Jackley that he was "one of the sweetest-natured men we have ever encountered". Commenting on his marriage to Lincoln, he wrote, "How sad it was, during our pantomime run at the [[New Theatre, Cardiff|New Cardiff]], to see the distress and embarrassment caused this artiste by his abusive and violent first wife, Marianne Lincoln, who at the Palace Pier Theatre, [[Brighton]], pushed her husband down the stairs. Eventually, the ex-soubrette's alcoholic disruptiveness caused her to be banned both from the theatre and the local hostelry, a not infrequent occurrence wherever her unfortunate spouse was playing. One management wouldn't even have Mrs Jackley in the same ''town''."<ref name=":0" />

His third and final marriage to Pamela Rushworth proved to be happier, with the couple settling in [[Coventry]], [[Warwickshire]], where they were married in 1979.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Index entry|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=T9n11xPbq2oxN8pkGu3fDQ&scan=1|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS|accessdate=14 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Index entry|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=BthJCosKXWidk47eQ96pDA&scan=1|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS|accessdate=14 August 2021}}</ref>
