Very Very funny man , in his early years, saw him at the Fiesta and never laughed so much, I liked his Hitler impersonations , Sadly he got less and less funny as the years passed by, till eventually I just found him rubbish.  R I P. Freddie.

Don't know much about his later life as I have been o'er here for lots of years. Rip Freddie and " Thank You Very Much" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PRESLEY   1,228 #8 Posted May 10, 2019 Apart from seeing him a couple of times at the Fiesta, I saw him in Yarmouth doing an impression of Norman Wisdom and Norman walked on stage behind him. Very funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffandy   29 #9 Posted May 10, 2019 Must just be me, but, I never got him. Never found him funny in the slightest. He always seemed to be trying to force a laugh, and came across as trying to hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
handypandy   14 #10 Posted May 10, 2019 Saw him live a couple of times. First time genius, the second time his act was cheap and littered with unnecessary four letter expletives. I remember this performance from half a century ago, when it was more topical and relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVbslxmDzfU  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Yeah but   0 #11 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Freddie Starr was one of the comedy staples in our house when I was growing up. Some aspects of his act got a little corny in the latter years but it was all harmless fun. The snowflakes of today probably won't like him but he was a product of his time.  Another working class hero gone. RIP. Edited May 10, 2019 by Yeah but Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
