@@Fredders88 I would believe that, many nice parts were relativeky unaffected. I lived in Andersonstown, West Belfast. Away from there 22 years now thank God.
Seen Frank in ilfracombe many years ago,bought him a whisky and he was still cracking jokes in the bar an hour after his show ended.God bless you Frank.LEGEND.
He was always like this, even off camera. We met him by chance on a Dublin hotel corridor, less than an hour after our Gran died. As he passed,he got in three one-liners which had us in stitches.RIP
I met Frank Carson in Heathrow departures 1981. He told me a joke, not too sure what he’s about, but it was to do with an arse and talcum powder. I laughed because I had to laugh. I didn’t get the joke, but he was a Roman Catholic from Belfast, who was in the parachute regiment, the British Army and he ended up being a mayor in a town north of Dublin. What a hero. God bless, Frank.
I worked with frank carson in st colombs hall in derry where he compered the sundays show.Fr Daly,now bishop daly,booked us.Iremember frank asking,is there any one out there, as we came off stage,(joke, hall was full)quick reply from me,no they heard you where coming on and they have all gone home.laughter from both of us,I worked with him on and off for a number of years and i can tell you ,he was never borning,a great caracter who will be missed R.I.P..Tony sadar
unfortunately this type of comedian is sadly extinct, the standards for comedy like music have gone down so much now, anybody can tell a big long story about how your ex brushed her teeth but it takes real talent to rapid fire punchline jokes and without resorting to words like shag or fcuk. hopefully kids will see some of these clips.
Frank was my type of comedian, he'd crack joke after joke, like you i cant get me head around these "alternative comedians" like gervaises & mcintyre????
I think i understand now what Spike milligan meant when he cracked the joke "What's the difference between Frank Carson and the M1? You can turn off the M1." lol he does go on a bit
Frank had a lovely friendship with my ex husband. It all started when my ex became Frank’s post man, and the rest was history. So many times, I saw Frank, in the butchers I used. Every time I went in, and he was in there, it was going to be a long wait for my Pork Chops. But I have to say, how he is on stage, in interviews etc, is exactly what he was like in real world. Again, when we saw him in town, u could hear him before seeing him, and his poor wife was walking 8 foot behind him. Every time I go past his home ( for those who are interested, I live in Blackpool) I always look at his house and feel sad, because an incredibly talented, genuine, gentle, kind hearted and selfless man once lived there and it is so sad. It is the same every time I go past the house, which the Nolans grew up in. Every time I go past there, I can’t help but think of Bernie, another talented and kind hearted person. I’m no stalker or celebrity chaser lol. I pass their houses every day whilst going about my business.
Some people are amazing at telling a joke. Like the irish version of rodney dangerfield, just like a machine gun of jokes. How clive could not laugh is amazing, some of those jokes were very funny.
I miss Frank, and all his mates of what I call the golden age of British comedy. He was one of our best loved comedians, and today's overly intellectual comics are so tedious that I would rather sand paper my testicles than sit through their unfunny garbage.
A ture legend like his family said it's quite down here now god help them up there keep laughing in heaven frank none of todays so called comedians come close to the wonderfull talent you had rip frank
One of best Irish comedians Along with Dave Allan Two Irish men doing the times Cross word Paddy finnishes first Murphy Have you got all the clues Paddy Apart from one The clue is old Mac Donald Had a !!! Murphy Farm Paddy How do you spell farm Murphy E I E I O The Irish have now discovered A flightless bird in Iceland It’s called A Frozen Chicken Did you hear about the Irish Jellyfish It set
He once said " The trouble with Ireland is - too many Protestants, too many Catholics, not enough Christians".
Wonderful quote. I lived in Northern Ireland through all the bad stuff.

How can anyone dislike this...Frank Carson comedy genius
Can't remember a comedian who was loved by so many people. His machine gun style of delivery was unqiue ...a MASSIVE loss.
He was always like this, even off camera. We met him by chance on a Dublin hotel corridor, less than an hour after our Gran died. As he passed,he got in three one-liners which had us in stitches.RIP
A legend - has Tommy Cooper's ability to make people laugh within five seconds of his arrival on stage. A machine-gun comedian.
Today's comics are shit in comparison.
Oh god he was SO funny, loved when he got in to the seemingly unstoppable flow of random jokes that he shows here.
Reminds me of Billy Connolly how he just takes off ... brilliant

He was dead right about Cannon and Ball!
R.I.P FRANK......GOD MUST BE PISSING HIM SELF LAUGHING UP THERE WIFF YOU ...GOD BLESS
RIP Frank,used to watch you with my late Dad...he was Northern Irish....laughed so much together.God bless you and your family....nice post...thanks.
The sheer brilliance of Frank Carson he has me in stitches , it's the way you tell em 😭😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
For once, the programme was renamed ‘Clive Anderson Tries To Get A Word In’………Frank was utterly brilliant!
Comes from a time when you could tell a joke without having to think twice about who you might offend all now lost in this pc leftie world
It's the way you tell it Frank

How can anyone not love the genius of Frank- as a Belfast man ,I’m proud of him👍
A relentless blitzkrieg of humour. Clive was left for dead.
And this is a classic example of a university educated "comedian" meeting his match against a proper comedian!!!
just loved to listen to this brilliant man he was a class act.this is one of my fav clips.
Its the way he tells em, R I P Frank Carson Thanks for the laughter.
Lovely man very funny ..remember walking throough berkley square in london and could hear him telling jokes to passers by.
I can`t tell you how much I like Clive Anderson. No, really. I can`t. As for Frank... wonderful comedian and human being!
RIP Frank, top comedian, great laughs, you will truly be missed.
Thanks for the years of great jokes. You'll be greatly missed, Frank.
R.I.P.
frank carson was the greatest irish comic a very, purely funny guy. had a very serious side to him regarding his faith
I had the pleasure of meeting Frank and his wife several time when I was kid. He is a genuinely lovely man.
Bloody brilliant. Had the Audience and Clive under control within seconds.
he was too scared to let him speak. just a one man show of blathering stupidity
Yes the right way to be 😄👍
The old days when people could have opinions
Still one of the Greats 2022
Thx Frank

heard his Titanic joke?
Agreed. He was so fast Clive Anderson was out classed
@@stevechristie2569 Which one.
@@kevindouglas8652 overheard in the bar of the Titanic "I know I asked for ice but this is ridiculous"
Good lad Frank. Very funny. Loved forever.
Absolutely superb.
He was too good for this place!
Clive Anderson lighten up, you miserable sod! I would have been on the floor, laughing.
satchfan2010 sorry... he can't be seen finding it funny.
More proof it was neve “ Clive Anderson talks back” it was always Clive Anderson never shuts up. Park knew when to let his guests roll with it
Thanks for all the memories, a true comic RIP Frank.
Frank was my type of comedian, he'd crack joke after joke, like you i cant get me head around these "alternative comedians" like gervaises & mcintyre????
Carson and Manning would rip the likes of them,along with Lenny Henry to shreds. They are Not Comedians!.
RIP big man- one of the true greats.
I can't imagine how much fun it would be, to be so incredibly quick-witted.
He never gave Clive a chance. He knew not to.
He once said "what's the difference between Frank Carson and the M25? ........... You can turn off the M25!"
Hilarious sadly missed xx
Seemingly he dropped down dead when he visited a Jacob's factory. :O
R.I.P Frank a great great comic and a lovely man. We'll miss you !
I think i understand now what Spike milligan meant when he cracked the joke "What's the difference between Frank Carson and the M1? You can turn off the M1." lol he does go on a bit

There's nowt like him now, such a shame. That was comedy
Frank was the best
2 dislikes??? they must be dead people !! R.I.P FUNNYMAN,
ps it states on Wikipedia that he is from the Little italy area from belfast. Apparently this place no longer exists. Does anybody know why?
Only 2 guests silenced Clive Anderson ,Frank Carson and robin Williams.
The Bee-Gees walked off.
RIP Frank Carson
RIP Frank, always brought a smile to my face x
They'll never be another!
He'll be sadly missed.
Although from Belfast, he made his home in Blackpool.
