RIP Barry Cryer

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

A legend has passed away who I was lucky enough to see at Leicester Square Theatre last August for the recording of Richard Herring's podcast.
There can't have been more than fifty there and it felt like a privilege at the time, now even more so.

Do have a listen to the RHLSTP podcast as well, I defy you not to laugh.

Sad loss of a very funny man. RIP.

I didn't know he existed, but yes, he was clearly brilliant ... :lol: ... so, RIP and condolences to the many and the close who definitely miss him.

They would always interview Barry Cryer on television whenever any famous old school comic died. The news report I saw about his sad demise featured no one. Sad.

I saw elsewhere:

If you've seen anything on British TV in the past 60 years that made you laugh, chances are it was at least partly written by Barry Cryer.
