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.
Some examples of him being brilliant -

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

I didn't know he existed, but yes, he was clearly brilliant ...
... 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.
