EPISODE 20: BARRY CRYER

In this episode, I talk to the comedy legend BARRY CRYER about his comedy career. Barry Cryer is an English writer, comedian and actor.  He has written for many major comedians that are feature in my blog including Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson, Bob Monkhouse, Frankie Howerd, Bruce Forsyth, Kenny Everett, Richard Pryor and Spike Milligan. I have watched many of his shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and he is a master at constructing and delivering a joke.  Since 1972, he has been a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4’s I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue and is frequently on TV talking about comedy on various shows including fronting Comedy Legends on Sky Arts. I was extremely saddened to hear of Cryer's passing in January 2022 aged 86 years old and It was an honour and a pleasure talking to the great comedian.  Thank you so much for listening to my podcast, if you like what you hear, please subscribe and I hope you enjoy the interview.
