After being plucked from the audience I had the frightening pleasure of being on stage with the Legend Freddie Starr in Oxford with his support act magician Rob Bromley. A memory I will keep forever. RIP the one and only Freddie Starr
The best -- RIP - Freddie -- very sadly missed. We'll never see or experience the likes again. We were so lucky to have you and you made so many of us laugh so much.
During the Savile hysteria, he was accused of sexual assault, which he strenuously denighed, it was declared unproven, but the legal fight cost him highly, and he died pennyless.@@nathelondon3719
@@alanashore9570 He was a troubled man too. His alcoholic Dad's abuse, plus the fact that he was half jewish on his mother's side may have taken a toll on him too. Anti-semitism was and is still rife. Plus it wasn't all that long prior to 1988 that WW2 had happened, which, had the germans won?? well lets not go there. Its hard to say, but these things can really affect people negatively.
I loved his mainstream TV performances. He was superb with audience members and his guests. The Vincent routine was genius, the "speed up/slow down" thing he did, all the brilliant impressions, Adolf in wellies, singing with the Jordinaires, etc. Wonderful, every moment. In fact, the only Freddie stuff I don't love is the near-the-knuckle sweary, sexual stuff he did for later stage shows. But fortunately, there's plenty of the former to represent his sheer talent and originality. Still miss him. :-)
The greatest at what ever he did, make you cry laughing or with his singing, the word legend was meant for this man, no other person has the talent he had. OMG what a singer too
Thank you Freddie, you made me laugh so much but I cried when I met you in Mijas towards the end of your life and saw the decline you had suffered. RIP one of the greatest ever singer/comedians
The Jordanaires, Elvis's backing singers, said that Freddie was the best Elvis impressionist they ever worked with. They loved to work with him. Read his autobiography, it's very interesting!
For many years I had the pleasure of being his Tailor! An amazingly talented act! though troubled in later years! But possibly the best comedy act we ever witnessed!

I saw him live three times and several times on tv. He always did exactly the same act, he was still doing Top of the Pops with Adam Faith and Mick Jagger in the 90s. He was funny in his time but this was all he ever really did.
Sort of act you still see every Saturday night in a caravan or holiday camp club house. I thought he was quite funny at the time, but you knew what he was going to do. Not saying it was not funny. I remember Eric Morecambe saying that he and Ernie Wise did the same act for 25 years live but employed great writers for TV; Freddie Starr just did his club act.
@johnpearce3033 It's just the popular sketches you are seeing. He was one seriously funny dude who was capable of pulling any shit at any time in mid routine.
There will be nobody else like Freddie Starr.😊
A great all round entertainer who is sadly missed. There is nobody who could do what Freddie did
God bless you Freddie 😇 gone but not forgotten 😊
Freddie’s - Vincent routine is totally brilliant
That routine made me laugh so much

Freddie epitomis😅ed the word LEGEND & he is still so greatly loved & very sadly missed!
Grew up watching Freddie Starr and to see what they made him become, at the end of his years, was nothing but criminal.
What crime did he commit?
No dote he was realy realy grate entertainer

Greatest comedian ever grew up on this man and the best music ever heard the greatest days of my life Rip Freddie God bless you
I can't think of anyone who ever replicated " The Vincent routine " anywhere near to the standard of the late Freddie Starr.
Didn't know he was such a great singer.
The Jordanaires, Elvis's backing singers, said that Freddie was the best Elvis impressionist they ever worked with. They loved to work with him. Read his autobiography, it's very interesting!
All round entertaiment.
He was incredible talented
Just watched a clip of Freddie Starr . Tears rooling down my face. Very Funny man.
Freddie was unique, he had no equals, never will have.
For many years I had the pleasure of being his Tailor!

So sad to think of great entertainers sad demise.

Totally. Amazing to watch him - I think I appreciate him even more now. Just outstandingly talented and original.
Brilliant ❤
Fab..
I think he might of had a cold as well legend 😮😊
Who is they?
Jimmy tarbuck probably the most unfunist comedians in England
And you're about as funny as your spelling.

Classic. Men from the 70s are now witch hunted for the mores of the time. Too PC now.

Woke has almost killed adult comedy.
Awesome to watch he was simply fantastic 👏

add me to the burgeoning throng that give people like you a 'wide berth.
@@pavarotti744 You do know that this is online and that we will never meet?
@@johnpearce3033 that's a load off....
@@pavarotti744 Rd4
I never found him funny, old fashioned humour even at the time!
He was dated even in 1988
weird
it was the same old shit with this dude
I have watched a few vids of him on youtube and he does exactly the same act every time.
I suppose that is what they did in those days.

A genius
Freddie put on a good show the end game was sad and on was return to sender carved on his coffin R I P Freddie
That’s why Des O‘Connor had him 11 times on his show! Cos it was the same old shit. U need help mate!
Totally embarrassing
Crap pure crap
But you watched it LOL
Is that the title of your autobiography?
