The Four Yorkshiremen was one of his, originally for the Frost Report but later popularised by Monty Python. Surely you've come across that?

I have absolutely no idea who most of the comedy people are in the links!
Re: Barry Cryer
Fair enough. But for those of us who enjoy comedy panel shows on Radio 4 or who have been watching TV comedy for 50 years or more, he has been making us laugh for all that time, usually through the voices of others.Maillot Rouge wrote: ↑29 Jan 2022, 2:01pmI’m afraid not.RickH wrote: ↑27 Jan 2022, 10:53pmYou've probably heard his work even if you don't know his name.

Re: Barry Cryer
Lets face it, if you are more than 50 you have been priveliged to have lived through a golden age of comedy. I think we started entering the dark ages with the pathetic bunch of foul mouthed stand ups that began appearing more recently. The super sensitive 'woke' brigade is further damaging our ability to poke fun at ourselves.

Re foul-mouthed stand ups, as I think I've already posted Barry Cryer began his rise to fame as a stand-up comedian at Leeds City Varieties when it was a seedy dive and then went on to similar but greater things in London. One of the reminiscences I've read in the last few days has been about when he was heckled by John Lennon asking if it was satire, being put down by BC with
No, this is nightclub filth. You need to get out more.
Re: Barry Cryer
I think comedy changes over time some of the 60's and '70's stuff looks dated and downright derogatory toward certain sections of society,women in particular,though some of it is still very funny.al_yrpal wrote: ↑30 Jan 2022, 8:02am Lets face it, if you are more than 50 you have been priveliged to have lived through a golden age of comedy.

The funniest man alive,Billy Connelly,has probably the foulest mouth for the past 50+years.
What's the 'woke brigade' doing wrong?
