Sad to see another comedian/comedy writer gone. Thanks for all the laughs.

Ah shit. I was only thinking about him the other week. He's been around for years and I had to check out his age.

A big shame

Copy and pasted from Twitter….

A couple of weeks ago Barry Cryer rang me up and, as he often did, signed off by sharing a joke.

A man and his wife are out walking one day when they spot a lone fellow on the other side of the road. "That looks like the Archbishop of Canterbury over there" says the woman. "

Go and see if it is,” she adds.

The husband crosses the road and asks the man if he is indeed the Archbishop of Canterbury.

"Fuck off," says the man.

The husband crosses back to his wife who asks "What did he say? Is he the Archbishop of Canterbury?"

He told me to fuck off," says the husand.

"Oh no," replies the wife, "Now we'll never know".

And then Barry cackled with delight because he’d told the gag to a real Bishop - who’d roared with laughter. And nothing made Barry happier than that.

Sadly gone now but his work lives on.

Incredible talent, truly a master of his craft and probably unequalled in our time..

Was very lucky to see him live a good few years ago.

I used to know Barry because I went to school with his son Bob. Barry was a really nice, friendly guy. He will be missed. Luke
