A comic genius.
Thank you for the laughs. RIP Barry.

RIp to a very clever man - love this one of his.

'A woman walks past a pet-shop and sees a magnificent parrot in the window.

She rushes inside and says, 'How much for the parrot?'

'£5,' says the shopkeeper.

'Only £5? I've got to have it,' says the woman. 'Why's it so cheap?'

'Well, I must confess, it was brought up in a brothel,' said the shopkeeper. 'And, to put it politely, it has quite an extensive vocabulary.'

'Never mind,' says the woman. 'At that price, I'll take it.'

So she takes the parrot home, puts its cage in the living room and takes the cover off.

'New place - very nice,' says the parrot.

Then the woman's two daughters walk in.

'New place, new girls - very nice,' says the parrot.

Then the woman's husband walks in, and the parrot says, 'Oh hello, Keith!''

Oh dear, that is so sad. I just loved him.

[Hazlinny]

A gentleman. Had the pleasure of meeting him when on the show "Crosswits" on which he was compere many moons ago - my celebrity partner was Colin Baker. Barry made everyone so welcome with his banter.

Graham Garden is very much still alive.
Though he has retired from Clue.

I saw his one man show a few years back - at an age when most of us would have settled for a comfy retirement, he put his heart and soul into the best part of three hours of quickfire humour and song - and then cheerfully chatted away in the bar to anyone who'd stayed behind for a pint.

A great comic writer and performer - who will be much missed.


[ I will be eternally grateful for his definition :

"Countryside - killing Piers Morgan" ]

RIP Barry.

^Tribute from Jack Dee - lovely little gag in second paragraph.

RIP Barry a truly funny man

Joke written for Kenny Everrett.
I had an accident in the car last night and managed to overturn it on to its roof. A Mr and Mrs Smith and a Mr and Mrs Ball attended the accident. Thankfully, I was dragged out by the Smiths...

[Barsel]

Awww I really liked him and for some reason, I thought he would live forever.
R.I.P Barry Cryer, you were fantastic.

[Barsel]

melv16 will tell my daughter that one, her married name is Ball.

[Mozz71]

Always struck me as a genuinely lovely guy, and possibly the last one standing of those classic comedy writers of the 50s and 60s. Up there with the likes of Eric Sykes, Dennis Norden and Spike Milligan.

RIP Barry.

//Countryside - killing Piers Morgan//

That has made my day ☺☺

Now there are no Old Farts left. So sad.

Both Barry and Graeme said they were taking a breather from ISIHAC in 2019, though whether or not Graeme will continue without his team partner only time will tell.
