richinspain Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Sad news. Didn't realise he was quite that old. But then I've been out of the country 22 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 One of my earliest memories of comedy was watching Freddie Starr and thinking "why is this funny?" Still - he seemed to be enjoying himself, and clearly lived live to the full until his body packed up. A lot to be said for that attitude RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Thrust Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I can remember him starting out. I didn't find him funny then and still can't understand how he managed to become a popular comedian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 22 years, but obviously my tv memories are from then as well. A few months ago I watched some videos of him on YouTube (don't remember why I even looked for them) and they were from years ago as well, so automatically I still saw him as being the same.

Boycie Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Saw him at his peak in Blackpool winter gardens. The YouTube vid above gets me everytime, yes he belonged in another comedy era, but so do some of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
