RIP Barry Cryer : Thu Jan 27, 2022 11:16 am
I'm posting this mainly because he's one of the few famous people I've ever met but more importantly the nicest and the funniest.I met him as a 17-year-old in a London pub whilst on a college trip. Despite me and my pals being a bit drunk and a bit loud he sat with us for nearly an hour telling jokes and asking us all in turn about ourselves. He then left but not before slipping a tenner behind the bar to buy us a round.
Incredible experience at the time and a great life memory that I often remember. I met a few celebs on that trip, not sure why but he's the one who sticks out as a person.
A great Northern comic writer who didn't have a chip on his shoulder. RIP
