Sad he learnt he Was really transgender. He was really a woman.

A life well lived. We should all be so lucky! He is remembered, may his memory be eternal. Lord have mercy and smile down on us Quentin!!!

One of the sweetest videos of David , he was so sweet and genuine with the children. Made me a little emotional at the last 5 minutes 😢😊😊😊. ❤

He was a very courageous man. He had to endure a lot of prejudice in his life but he never compromised who he was. Rest in peace.

RIP Quentin Crisp and Bette Bourne.

Mijo invita, o no eres rico?

We had a mutual friend in Manhattan in the late 80s. He seemed to have psychic abilities, frankly, going beyond the ordinary we all possess. I remember the kindness in his eyes. Rest in paradise, dear sir. You earned it. 💫

I first saw him in a interview on a talk show. He said you only need to wash your dinner plate after you’ve had fish… lol

How I want to live, really. David, thank you for helping me understand living outside the box was more so like breaking through the damn bruises it had from careless carriers. 😅

Funny comedy

David Hoyle is funny with his comedy

What fascinates me is that he came from a different era - he was born in the Edwardian era, I can’t even imagine what that must have been like, especially for a gay man.

Keep kicking against the pricks David. I wonder what you think about Quentin Crisp's observation that gays are naturally conservative but society turns them into rebels. So what happens when socially stops caring, and the gays revert to their natural state? What will poor Robin do then - poor thing?

I fucking love him

Some of these young people sound very dull. I mean, they'll be around middle aged today, but, there's a kind of effete malaise about them

*Has anyone ever seen David and Morrissey at the same time ...*

Ive met David lots of times in Manchester. He's one of the kindest loveliest approachable person you'd ever like to meet

Much love.

This is a wonderfully important snapshot of Manchester's queerness at the time. 🖤

For years I thought Englishman In New York was about Sting, then I learned recently it was about Quentin Crisp. "It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile, be yourself no matter what they say", hits different when you realize it was about Quentin.

If Yungblud was really a punk.

Britain is so shit. Thanks David

Brilliant!

''Citizen Of The World'' David Rockerfeller would be pleased.

Profound.

It's weird to see a young Tim Fountain because he has a youtube channel called me and mon ami and I have never seen him so young.

Absolutely love Carl drinking a pint with a straw

He was Way ahead of his time

I’m to heavy to be allowed into the horses for a ride I could lead them around

Who is the beautiful boy at the bar? I want to meet him.

Was so great till wished HIV on someone. Lost me, damn.

Quentin wasn't " famous for being famous." He was famous for his courage, his wit, his honesty and his kindness. Please don't bracket him with today's vacuous celebrity culture. They are not fit to tie his shoelaces.

I’m really surprised he didn’t have a little pet dog.

He certainly knew the importance of being earnest😂😂😂

This is what theatre is about. 👏👏

My Father shagged his "bit on the side" in Colchester, destroying our family for the better and making a mess of everything else. He feared having a gay son, so I gave him exactly what he didn't want, destroying what was left. I've always been a people pleaser. You're welcome, Pa. 💔

this is my favorite man in the world. He is huge and the only one of his kind. He is my idol. I loved the way John Hurt played him twice!

Before Jack Sparrow there was... and also after!

As a Lifelong Crisperanto, I managed to forge a relationship with Mr Crisp through late. Night telephone chats and a prolific postal correspondence. This was over twenty years, up until the day he died. The irony is that he passed the night before his first appearance in England since his American Affair began. I knew the nen hosting him in their home and was due to meet with him that day. I had a phone call from my sister ( head of the Mortuary in Manchester Royal Infirmary ) informing me that Mr Crisp had passed away and she was looking after his body . I went to the Mortuary to pay my respects resting a single bright beautiful blooming yellow rose in his hands. He had both peace and dignity. However his body was left unclaimed with no one to arrange Repatriation to his adopted home. So, very late on a moonlit Manchester night, at an undisclosed location. Mr Crisps Body was uncerermoniesly cremated. And the remains were bagged and boxed and sent cargo class to his new and rather Avaricious recently signed Agent. What an absolutely heartbreaking end for a historical and Cultural Icon. For shame.

The Divine David is such an overlooked genius creation by David Hoyle.

Always been fascinated by Quinton. Thank goodness we can nurture interesting people like this nowadays x ❤

Truly, one of a kind! Always funny, brilliant and thought provoking. Been a huge fan for years. Love from the US.

David is just unique and a beutiful soul ❤😊 children are amazing they accept without question

That was sometimes difficult to watch though beautiful all the same.

It was always interesting to hear what he had to say. It was usually something poignant, and eloquently put. RIP.

Wonderful. As is Quentin. Thank you.

I can understand Quentin Crisp's ambivalence\antipathy towards his nativeplace. I grew up in South Georgia (USA) and have a certain ambivalence toward the small town where I grew up. Anger because of certain things, but then, on my better days, I remember the happy memories. Only Mr. Crisp truly knew his true feelings; to hear various people who may have been friends, were not him, so could only make guess, albeit educated guess, is futile. One of the most important things that I got from reading Quentin Crisp's books, is that, at the end of the day, we are, essentially alone. Grim words, but he showed us that we could carry on, even giving us inspiration and advice on how to do so.

I MET HIM ONCE IN LONDON MY UNCLE WHO WAS GAY KNEW HIM WE WERE WALKING ON THE CAR PARK ON THE PEABODY ESTATE WHERE MY UNCLE LIVED I REMEMBER HE WORE A FLOPPY HAT AND CHIFFON SCARF AROUND HIS NECK A LOVELY MAN AND SO FRIENDLY ♥️ 💕 RIP 🙏 YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN

I had the pleasure of opening for Quinton Crisp at a club in NYC called SNAFU. I played a grand piano and sang my songs - then sat in the audience and enjoyed his wonderful appearance! 🌸💖🌸

Remenber a time when the rainbow flag stood for gaydom. Makes me feel nostalgic. David was a prophet. Twenty years after this film was made, A lot of the things he was pushing are now mainstream, the rise of non-binary, the anti-national and anti-capitalist movements. Maybe that's why DD was retired. His views are no longer avant guarde or subversive.
