Page 1 of RIP Barry

Barry Cryer.
I doubt there's anyone in this country who hasn't laughed at something he wrote at one time or another.
The nicest guy I never met.
Andy Hamilton once said his anecdotes hunt in packs.
If you doubt that go and find the podcast 'Now Where Were We' he'd started doing with his son.
Not a bad epitaph and you just know he had loads more if he'd stayed.

Genius of comedy and great writer RIP

RIP Barry!

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform here in Ventnor soon after moving down, with Colin Sell on the piano.

Such a terrible shame.

A comedian and writer who never lost relevance over the decades, still supporting and adding to comedy and a big supporter of all the new waves of comedians down the years.

He would apparently make a point of phoning all the comedians he knew on their birthday to tell them a joke (Richard Herring revealed his on his podcast).

The end of an era sadly.

Edit: By pure coincidence, someone very helpfully put Barry Cryer's birthday joke to Richard Herring on twitter:

RIP... from an era when famous and celebrity meant something.

Such a talent

He would definitely have approved.
