Freddy Starr RIP

Sad news.
When I was an apprentice at Mercedes he was one of our customers - very funny bloke but totally down to earth and respectful.

 

Great loss to the entertainment world and others. Valerie used to be in stitches when watching him on TV also Morcome & Wise.

 

A funny man with a unique sense of humour and presentation, a sad loss.

 

Oh, that’s sad news.
Controversial character at times I guess but brought great fun

 

An acquired taste in humour but nevertheless a very sad loss.

 

That’s a shame. At times, totally whacky..I like that. Must have been a presenters nightmare at times. As already said, a sad end.

 

So many comedians have died alone Marley.....including Tony Hancock and Benny Hill.
Apparently they often suffer extreme depression; Spike Milligan was a favourite of mine but he too had a very dark introverted side to him

 

I'd love to see some reruns of his antics but sadly the world has gone PC mad so I can't see it happening.

 

To me he was one of those comedians who at their best was great, but at times not so great.
Which I suppose goes for most of those old ones.
At Least the audience didn't have to be totally pickled out of their tiny minds in order for him to get a laugh, unlike the modern "comedian".

 

To me that's what made Freddie great and memorable.As for the 'modern comedian' I'm having trouble thinking of one..
