About this product

Product Information

Barry Cryer has been making people laugh for over 50 years and continues to be at the top of his game. In his time he has worked with, and become great friends with, most of the greats of the comedy world - such icons as Tommy Cooper, Morecambe and Wise, John Cleese, Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie Barker, Michael Palin, Alan Bennett, Groucho Marx, Jack Benny, Frankie Howerd, Kenny Everett, Bruce Forsyth, Les Dawson...the list is endless. In this book, he recounts many stories about the great names, some very funny, some poignant. He talks fascinatingly about humour and the things and people that amuse him. Furthermore, many of these big names have stories to tell, and comments to make, about Barry. He is a universally loved and respected man, and the warmth felt for him is evident on every page. Writer, entertainer, singer, talking head and a supremely funny man, it is all in this book in bite-sized chunks that are fascinating to dip in and out of - if you can put it down. The riveting text is spiced with nearly 400 illustrations from the Cryer personal collection and selected others.Go behind the scenes of the cult that is I'm Sorry , I Haven't A Clue , meet Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Jeremy Hardy. Learn more about the great 'Humph'. Read the ad libs! Barry Cryer is one of the great names of British comedy. This is a light-hearted, amusing and intriguing tribute to Barry and a celebration of the best of British comedy. It is a must for anyone with a sense of humor. Especially if they take humor seriously.
