General Barry Cryer

[Oxymoron]

If you haven't heard of him, you have almost certainly laughed at his work. Genius is used for too many people, but it would not be out of place for him. RIP

Farewell, Barry Cryer. Very funny man.

I’m sure our ‘Jokes’ thread is full of many of his.

Our girls were giggling at the photo of him that is on the stairs of the Oxford Playhouse just last month. A comedy legend - RIP.

Blimey! Talk about classic radio. You cannot be old enough to remember those from the first time round, surely?

Still working on the radio a year or so ago on "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue". Although I must say his barking laugh used to annoy me. Still a legend though.
