    Brilliant comic, could stand on stage and not say a word but the audience would roar with laughter. Comic genius. God bless❤️

    Always unpredictable, never disappointing, one of the all time greats indeed and greatly missed.

    total comic, no one comes near him, natural comic, never failed to make me laugh, and still does to this day, just wonderful.

    A true comic genius. A star among a comedy breed so missed today.
    Over twenty years the counrty has lost genuine funny people. Thank God they survive on youtube. Thanks fior posting. An interview with Keneth Williams is fantastic.

    Tommy lived a few doors away from me in the 1970s when I lived in my flat in Chiswick.. always said hello and he often had a drink in back room of local pub. Just as crazy in reality as on stage.!!

    • @RobertSeviour1
      @RobertSeviour1 4 роки тому +2

      I knocked on his door in Chiswick one Saturday when I was a salesman and he invited me in and offered me a drink.

    @pitielbasani1 13 років тому +8

    I heard that he was doing a live show. The lights went down and a voice announced, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Tommy Cooper.' Then they heard Tommy sighing and making various noises. Then steps could be heard coming down stairs. By now the audience was in hysterics, and he hadn't even appeared on the stage. The word genius doesn't cover this great man.

    You only had to stand there with that daft grin on your face and I disolved in laughter.

      He was an amazing character my dad k new him and always made him laugh, but Tommy would get angry with people (just like that) due to his aĺcahol intake but he made millions laugh and still watch him to this day ,? RIP Tommy

    • @harrybollocks5888
      @harrybollocks5888 5 років тому

  • @Argyll9846
    @Argyll9846 6 років тому +12

    No comic has ever made me laugh as much as Tommy Cooper. Impeccable timing from a true comic genius. Without a doubt he was and is widely loved for his silly trademark humor and he never swore unlike today's bland and not so funny 'comedians.'

    Such a simple trick but the smoothness of the slight-of-hand is phenomenal. What a legend. And unbelievably funny too

    • @jangray395
      @jangray395 5 років тому

      Hardly phenomenal. Try to stay in reality. I can do that more smoothly, as can most beginners! He admitted he was crap at most magic but yeah you know better than the man himself..

  • @Nickthegreek123
    @Nickthegreek123 13 років тому +3

    Some1 I know said when he went to see him he just stood infront of a little gate on the stage telling jokes and everybody was wondering what the gate was for cos he never mentioned it all way through the performance and at the end he just walked through the gate and off the stage laughing! Absolutley different class!

  • @HEV29
    @HEV29 14 років тому +1

    Tommy Cooper - this interview is why I like him so much, a brilliant magician and yet so crazy. The Parkinson show is where you go to be "yourself", so Tommy took his fez off and carried on being the same - that was as close to himself as he would go on tv...

    My Mam and Dad would be in fits when he was on the telly, just thinking back on that makes me laugh, you do not see that type on entertainer around any more, and that is a pity. seeing Tommy and Parkinson together is a great treat.

  • @Gribbo9999
    @Gribbo9999 4 роки тому +1

    Forget the common market. What irony. Tommy only had to give that gormless look to get me laughing. He could get a whole comic routine going without even saying a word.

  • @orbisrex

    The reason we voted Brexit was so Tommy could get his fez back!

    • @Antraeus
      @Antraeus 4 роки тому

      Yes but the reason he got his fez back was Boris borrowed 'Bret Sit!' for a few hours to impress...Doris...and couldn't afford to pay him back. Or so the story goes. How do you explain that? Anyway, I thought it was a Welsh dragon hat. Those were the days, when all we knew about another culture was the kind of hat they might wear when they're up for a bit of leg-pulling. Or in the bath. And it was completely divorced from reality. And just a bit of fun really.

  • @MrDaiseymay
    @MrDaiseymay 7 років тому +3

    I watched his last moments on TV, live on stage at her Majesties theatre. He had only just come on, wearing a huge golden smock like costume and suddenly and slowly, sank to the floor in a crouched position, and fell backwards. I, and the audience thought it was part of his act and started laughing. The curtains were eventually drawn together, but Tommy was too far forward to be covered. So The shows introducer, JImmy Tarbuck , pulled the Curtains around Tom. The show went straight into adverts,, despite there being one only a few minutes ago. He died back stage of a massive heart attack. I think the video is on UA-cam.

  • @theirishshowman
    @theirishshowman 14 років тому +1

    There was only one, a friend of mine was at the fatefull show where he died, he knew him, Tommy gave him a gift one Christmas, a box of matches.. on the outside it had a fez, a cane and top hat etc, on the inside of the box it said STOLEN FROM TOMMY COOPER. even a box of his matches could make us laugh.
    now he makes us cry, because he is gone, gone but never forgotten.
    Rest with the Angels oh King of Laughter.

    you get the feeling that parky was impatient at tommy`s refusal to do a straight intererview and instead surround himself with props. however, like many a cooper audience, despite himself, he ends up in total hysterics, at one stage and tommy is as funny as ever. never saw parky convulsed in so much laughter before or after.
