thegiggilo • May 10, 2019 12:08 AM BST Freddie starr about as funny as diarrohea,in saying that there was fcuk all to laugh at in them days everythg was sh1t so in gand scheme of thngs.. Amazing to think of the kind of ratings and success comedians who no one seems to remember fondly got back in the 1970s and first half of 80s. Cannon & Ball, Little & Large were peak time, 17 million viewers They were even worse,like i said unfunny days of total dross.. |

Ya I get that. The Office will always be the classic what he's judged by, even the mrs appreciates that and she hates the slfc. I had to pretty much kick her down the road to the cinema when the Brent movie come out, but she did admit to quite liking it after. She declined to watch Afterlife with me though.

All comedians have a shelf life.....because there is only so many times they can tell the same joke and get away with it...
Even the great Tony Hancock found that...back in the day now of course 'League of Gentleman' I found that very original and funny...but even they found the same problem in the end Pauline and her Pens what does egregious mean the local shop etc |

He was extremely funny and rude in the days of non-PC; his latter years had not been good though, sadly. He owns Miinnehoma the 1994 Grand National winner which I backed. RIP Freddie!

He had an 18 month investigation for sexual offences that resulted in no charges being brought. I think that did him in both financially and mentally. RIP

Talk about edgy!
I hate edgy! Not just a talented entertainer but he just had something special. Made me feel uncomfortable watching him so many times. Absolute nightmare as a guest on chat shows. A proper one off! |

By:
A very funny man and also had a marvellous singing voice.
Riotous scenes in Heaven tonight! RIP Freddie and thanks for all the fun. |

My Mrs was a sister in the Nursing home where Freddie Starr plonked his stepdad after his mum died.
He left him there, went back to his house, had the old boy's dog put down. NEVER visited him again. He didn't pay anything, give him anything or give another minute to him. Apparently the stepdad (Jack) was a really lovely bloke. Freddie Starr certainly wasn't. I seem to remember a 'wife swap' programme he was on a few years ago too. He came across as a bit unpleasant in that as well! Notwithstanding the fact that none of his family spoke to him for years and any other unsettled stuff, I'm not sure blindly joining in the outpouring of grief is always necessary. I doubt he'll be sadly missed by anyone much. |

Good point studyform!

By:
Does not sound like a very pleasant individual

By:
Well said Studyform , just confirms what I thought of one of the unfunnyist so called comedians ive ever seen. Like someone said earlier about as funny as a burning orphanage .

I think Afterlife is the best thing he has ever done. Brilliantly acted, directed and filmedd, by all concerned. The script was incredible. I laughed and cried throughout the whole Series. Genius |

oh he was funny!
Painfully funny! His private life was something else. |

By:
Like a lot of Northern 'comedians' they usually stole a lot of routines/gags from the local comedy circuit, made it to the big stage and passed them off as their own, Peter Kay has been accused of it plenty of times, most of them are not funny, they just sound slightly amusing because of the strange dialects they have and the funny faces they pull, I mean Vic and Bob? Jon Richardson? Ross Noble? Paddy Mcguiness? Jason Manford?
