Barry Cryer RIP...

we went to a show with Tim Brooke-Taylor, Grahame Garden and Barry Cryer. Might have been Jack Dee (I can’t remember, and The Wife is in another room watching TV - so can’t be arsed)
He was a highlight seeing so much history n front of me.
 
Just discussing him with my family now on Whatsapp. Apparently my dad spilled coffee on him by mistake on the Leeds London train ages ago, but he was very understanding and we all had a good chat. I don't remember any of it. The joke cited in the Mark Lawson obit is classic...

Did you hear about the man who swallowed Tipp-Ex instead of viagra? He woke up with a massive correction.
 
And Sven

I remember Barry Cryer on TV for as long as I can remember. Funnily enough in my mind he's always looked about 65. We were lucky to ISIHAC at the ENO in London. The man had a quip, an anagram, an answer to everything. RIP Barry.

Yes!:)
 
First time I saw Barry was on a TV programme called 'Jokers Wild'
Who remembers that?

I have seen quite a few episodes of Jokers Wild, only in the last ten years not when it was on. So much smoking going on!

Many forgotten names like Fred Emney and Ray Martine appeared on it. And through it all, as ever, was Barry's laugh.
