Me and my whole family had the pleasure of meeting him after a show in North Devon in the 1980s. He was drinking in the bar which was next door. My dad brought him a drink. He was still cracking jokes, chatting to everyone, collecting jokes from people, happy to have his photo taken, hand out signed photos for free to the kids. Top bloke! Unlike these stars today, he was very down to earth!
When I worked as a mini cab driver back in the 70s I had Frank as a passenger for about an hour and he never stopped from the moment he got in the back. "Nice car,Two tone, black and rust, one owner Pontious Pilate....." and so on for the whole journey. He had me crying with laughter the whole way and of course as he got out and I thanked him for the private show he said "It's the way I tell em".
We saw Frank live in Tenerife in the mid-90s. Absolutely brilliant, finished at 11.00 PM and he spent another hour going table to table, still joking and laughing. Comedy legend.
Once saw him. He turned up at venue and couldn't walk properly he was that pissed. He had loads of fun with us outside before he went in, and killed it . Just brilliant !! Xx
Met Frank in Estepona, S Spain in the 80`s....He was a brilliant nice guy. He had the Spanish cafe waiters in stitches every morning at YATE bar in Estepona marina. One of a kind.
Yes, a comedy legend, but most people don't know that he served for three years in the Britsh Army's Parachute Regiment in the late 1940's and that he personally shot and killed a terrorist during that time, while almost being kileld himself in a terrorist bomb blast. A geat man. RIP, Frank!
He dug them out of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. I could elaborate on this, but I won't. That generation knew Irish, English, Scotch, Welsh and everything in between. By then he already had an old man's heart. Frank Carson. There's a man you don't hear much about now.
As funny now as all those years ago we still miss frank they don't make them like they did back then ! 1 o the funniest fellas ever ,brilliant and I can laugh at his jokes again and again ! It's the way he tells them 😂😂😂😂thanks frank !!!!!
@@RobCharles been looking for a video of him on the Michael Parkinson show. He told a few jokes and then engaged in a very serious conversation. Have never forgotten it and it showed their was a lot more to the man than just a comedian.
I dealt with Frank on many occasions at Heathrow airport, what a lovely man. More than once I had to stop him from telling gags and almost drag him down to the departure gate. He has my utmost respect, unlike many other celebrity arse holes aka Lenny Henry, Terry Wogan, Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Byorn Borg's wife, Yoko Ono, Benny Hill and several others. The nicest people I dealt with included Dame Vera Lynn, Bing Crosby, Diana Doors, Dolly Parton , Cheryl from Bucks Fizz, Lionel Blair, Ottis Reading, Boy George, Steve Ovett ( Seb Coe belongs in the arseholes category ), Eddie the eagle, most motor cycle GP riders ( most F1 drivers apart from Jody Shecter were arseholes, the Irish lass who won an Olympic Gold, the English lady who won Wimbeldon and Dame Edna Everage. I had a poorly paid but very rewarding job which has given a 70 year old fart like me much to remember. I have also dealt with people from Prince Charles and Lady Diana to some British spies, Morecambe and Wise and most of the Monty Python crew. Life is a joke, share it or keep it to yourself and become utterly screwed. If you like fucking chickens, don't keep it to yourself, say so and you will find other people out there who think the same way as you. I am a nobody but I think I can give you more revelant suggestions than any expensive shrink. Reply to this and I will tell you what I think, it won't be the answer but may help you to find a way to something to help you. d Wise
fuck , man you go on abit with your comment !! lmao !! frank would laugh at that !! / met frank back in 1980, at a motor show in Belfast ,! when i was 12 year old !, & am from northern Ireland , as he was !!
These were the days of substance, men and women of the same, not jokes are out of fashion, just like every solid thing of the past. These men were amazing, knew how to tell a joke. What happened to the writers of jokes?
I got stopped by the police on the motorway, they say that I was drunk, I replied but I was doing the hand signals and entered the motorway safely, they replied you haven't got a vehicle
After Tiswas, the gang would sit at the bar & Frank would continue cracking jokes till Jim Davidson would say "Give it a rest Frank, I,ve told a dozen of them jokes." & Frank would laugh "Yeah, but you dont tell em as well as I do.".
An absolute genius of stand up comedy. An all time great. R I P frank.
Met him in 1990, great stuff, I bought him a drink and had a great time. RIP Frank, unique, genuine, irreplaceable.
First Class, better than 99.9% of the comedians you will hear on TV today. A true professional and a master of his art.
A sadly missed comedian from sadly missed days. Thank you for your comment.

Clean jokes, and jokes indeed, which are very much missed today, and Frank was one of the many excellent comedians, which now have no equal
How so very true.
Lucky enough to meet him and as a young Comedian I learnt more in one night than any Comedy Course could teach you.
A master of gag telling & delivery.
Yes, a comedy legend, but most people don't know that he served for three years in the Britsh Army's Parachute Regiment in the late 1940's and that he personally shot and killed a terrorist during that time, while almost being kileld himself in a terrorist bomb blast. A geat man. RIP, Frank!

GOd Bless Frank Carson
Most people don't care. He was a comedian. No one gives a toss about his time as a government trained gunman.
Frank is telling jokes in heaven to wait for it , Richard Pryor and Robin Willams
"They've taken the key off the top of the corned beef tins" 🤣🤣🤣 only 1 min in and I'm already pissing myself!

Autumn Entertainment I’m glad you said that mate. I thought I was losing my marbles :)
@@RitchieRosson Me too!
I thought Frank was telling his deja-vu joke.
I feel so sad for the youth of today They will never know what it is to laugh !!!!.
Really? There's many good comedians out there. Young people do know how to laugh! They are human too! What a well thought comment, NOT.
@@carolstrachan4197they don’t laugh much . They are always offended

Brilliantly Bonkers. Love him. But pleeeaaasssee we need more Mick Miller
Met him once at a celebrity tournament in portmarnock golf club & he was as funny in real life.
I interviewed him & as you say he was funny all the time on & off the microphone.
Frank,Bernard,Ken and luckily still with us Mick Miller were/are the best of the best

Meet I'm in Blackpool 26 years go what a nice bloke
bert harris one of the greats, sadly missed.
Frank Carson a genius. The whimps today wouldn't know how to laugh. They would probably complain about the content of the show
Some parts are worth repeating ..... so he did.
1. Bernard Manning
2. Bob Monkhouse
3. Frank Carson
Billy Connolly,
Bang on
"it's the way I tell 'em"
It sure is tumbleweed blowing if anyone else tried that material
Hey squirrel daft Geordie boy again TH-cam Frank Carson irish comedian is one of the funniest guys who ever lived
I told a joke to a group of elderly people, don't know if they enjoyed but they all sat in the corner passing themselves
It's the way he tells them.
I met frank in early 80s when I was in my early teens in Belfast ! when with are school outing at a motor show !!
Performance repeats at 9:25. You're welcome.
I got stopped by the police on the motorway, they say that I was drunk, I replied but I was doing the hand signals and entered the motorway safely, they replied you haven't got a vehicle

After Tiswas, the gang would sit at the bar & Frank would continue cracking jokes till Jim Davidson would say "Give it a rest Frank, I,ve told a dozen of them jokes." & Frank would laugh "Yeah, but you dont tell em as well as I do.".
That's a brilliant memory and thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated👍

The days of comedians that were actually funny.
