I only came across eddie flanagan Very recently . My hubby and i love the man Talk about funny ? He only has to come on and your laughing .he should of been a superstar .god bless u eddie
It 's a pleasure to find some of the old comedians on you tube.When comedy was funny,not just monologues and swearing, as now.Can't watch it.Funniest equivalent nowadays is Peter Kay who is excellent.Obsarvational comedy,like Billy Connnolly another genius with a different view on life. Of the old timers i loved Dave Allen, Jim Davidson, Bobby Davro, Bernard Manning,Charlie Williams, the unsurpassable Sir Ken Dodd.Jimmy Tarbuck,Stan Boardman, Freddie Starr, Frank Carson, Tommy Cooper, so many clever, naturally funny men.Sadly missed most of them.
Sooo pleased I found this channel ✨Brilliant memories when I was a wee nipper in the early ‘70’s watching and laughing my face off with these tremendously talented comedians 🤣🤣🤣 😂😂😂 No swearing, insults, just great sharp wit 👍 Remember the different coloured microphones ! Stan Boardman, Mick Miller and Frank Carson to name a few ..fantastic‼️
This is REAL Comedy ....not 'Ramesh Kapoor' and the likes .....Jimmy Jones still kicks ass .......RIP Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis .......+ Jack Douglas , , , ,
Just pure gold,this is what comedians should be like. Genuinely funny,not scared of upsetting anyone because they are just jokes! Simpler times,happier times. We will never see the likes of these guys again.
I was a kid when these were on stage. But, I prefer these days compared to today's. These comedians actually make me chuckle. Todays comedians leave me bored. Thanks 🙏 for posting
Thank you for getting in touch & the thing is there seemed to be a few comedians who all told great jokes back in the day compared to today, how many can you think of? Have a great day & glad you liked the video.
No way. These aren't proper comedians. They're dross. These guys were nowhere near as good as the comics from the 1950s. Now they WERE proper comedians.
After the late 90s comedy went pc these were great shows now 85 rolling about laughing 😂😂😂😂 I watch comedy channels I'm lost no laughing comedy back to this funny bring back great memories thanks
@@robertcooke1774 I did. I thought if I was going to comment then I should watch it. It wasn't funny. They were all very similar and a lot of them were still telling Irish jokes. Personally I'd swap some swearing for the racism any day but some people think it's funny to still laugh at the Irish.
They were all great but Bernard Manning, Johnny Carroll, Charlie Williams, Micky Miller, wow the list of great goes on but for me the best was Ken Goodwin
I used to watch this TV series of Ken Goodwin Stan Borgman Mick Miller Jimmy Cricket Frank Carson Jim Bowen and Charlie Williams in The Comedians I am dedicating this TV series to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris Marie and Hester Brand from Billyxxxxx
Great comedy I can remember these shows on TV comedy to day is lost on me these were great no one shouting racist no woke briged no one shouting sexis good old comedy
This was when comedy was funny and not just swearing like todays misfits have to sink to. Those were indeed the days when you KNEW when to laugh plus as perfumer's they and charisma and not doing it to annoy ...
@@RobCharles The fear I dread is hearing a so-called ‘comic’ explaining that he/she ‘thought they would give comedy a try’ whereupon bricklaying might be best for them once heard. REAL comics have charisma, they are born not off a conveyor belt like today’s efforts - I once went to a so-called ‘comedy nite’ and of the five - or was it six? - ‘comics’ I laughed or smiled once or twice before the four letter stuff started off because we might not have been paying attention possibly but the once or twice this was a good batting average as some got up and left half way through. But as Bernard Manning once said: ‘If it’s funny, people will laugh but its knowing how to tell a gag not kill it’
@@Woodworker1947 yes ...blokes like bernard manning ...jimmy jones ...even jack douglas ..had timing ...funny bones ...just a natural gift ....could produce real laughter ...genuine ..-unlike todays poisonous rats ...like frankie boyle and jimmy carr ...cant stand them! .....
@@RobCharles he was well thought of in my neck of the woods, they had a tribute concert for him when he passed, Ian 'sludge' Lees doing the honours, also passed now. Great comedy talent from the black country and surrounding areas
@@bonkeydollocks1879 I never met Ronnie but I spent an evening drinking & talking to Ian ‘Sludge’ Lees at the Airport Hotel in Wilmslow in the 1990s. Another great comedian gone.
You’re the one who decided to stop off here luv! , nobody asked you to 🙄. Leave us grown ups to our fond memories & piddle off to enjoy your Live at the Apollo PC brigade and leave us in peace .
@@RobCharles Sitcoms - I mean American ones always did that. I think UK ones always had a real studio audience. If stand ups have fake laughter that's just cheating. I realised when there was lockdown and BBC radio had comedy shows without audiences how unfunny most modern comedians are.
THE SHITE THAT'S ON TV NOWADAYS LIKE "LIVE AT THE APOLLO", I JUST DON'T GET IT 😕 ??? THIS SO-CALLED STAND UP COMEDY 😖 IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE 🗑, ME & MY WIFE SIT THERE WITH STRAIGHT FACES 😕😕 & THE BONKERS AUDIENCE ARE LAUGHING AT STUPID QUOTATIONS 😕 ??? THIS IS THE TYPE OF COMEDY I LIKE 👍, WITH NO POLITICAL CORRECTNOUS FLOATING AROUND SPOILING THE AIRWAVES 👌.
Very anti Irish rascist twaddle for the most part unfortunately. Much better humour than that in Britain at the time. And people are saying nothing offensive in it. Deluded
As an Irishman who has experienced the world over close to six generations it still makes me sad to hear the racism of the seventies. Funny? Really? Given what I know today, I don't think so. Racism is never excusable. Thank you. M
No plummy voiced bell-ends on here😊
Best humour, best suits, best sideburns - The Comedians.
No just common sounding bell ends who spend.all their profits on weekly 24month credit suits..😂😂😂
Blast from the past. A past I've lived through and loved it!
Real comedian's absolutely brilliant love it
Absolutely brilliant fast witty stuff .. range of personalities is truly magical
I only came across eddie flanagan

Proper comedians no effing and blinding 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Thats not exactly true..but the jokes were still superior and the men telling them. Women were only just coming to the fore.
@@rhodiusscrolls3080 hylda baker was funny .....and queenie watts ...
Or jokes and why do you put a union jack that's sad
Effing and blinding is far more offensive than racism, homophobia, misogyny that these 'comedians' used for their lazy attempts at humour
“Proper comedians” are funny though.
The old ones are the best
Just funny loved it
This is real comedy!!
I've not heard real comedy since the 80s brilliant channel 💚❤💛💙💜🇮🇪
Thank you for your comments & glad you like the channel.
The gag about the octopus had me rolling 🤣

..its up to us to preserve the spirit i of humour ...not let THEM take it away from us ....
Same with the music, never hear better than 60s, 70s, and 80s
There is something wrong with TV entertainment when we have to look at fifty year old TV programs to find something that makes us laugh.
Totally agree Peter
Need reshow this on tv!!
I agree, if today’s so called comedians didn’t swear they’d be dumbstruck.
Not so, it's just that you are getting old.
This made you laugh?

Some were funny. Some were not. Some, I even struggled to get. But I love watching nostalgic videos still.
Right funny.
Thanks for taking the effort to post this it's made me laugh like I was back in the early 80's
You have to keep these memories alive 👍
The good ole days when the world was a innocent and innocent decent world,HAPPY DAYS !
They were great days 👍
They were all great but Bernard Manning, Johnny Carroll, Charlie Williams, Micky Miller, wow the list of great goes on but for me the best was Ken Goodwin
Yes brilliant Comedians, Hopefully bought back some memories.

to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris Marie and Hester Brand from Billyxxxxx
Stan Boardman was good too !!
Great Barnet on the little scouser
Excellent a golden age. No one was offended, all quite innocent. Not like the trash now on.
My dad called the age before this lot the best! Make up your minds!
I agree best days ever
So daft. So funny!
The good old days ,when there was no need for rude jokes
Awesome not laughed that much in ages.
What's the song at the end of the clip?
Eddie Flanagan was the funniest comedian I ever saw.Watch him on youtube at New Brighton.
What was said at 19:49?
Where did all the gags go?
All the woke and lefties getting offended put an end to gags.
@ Mick
Just when I was despairing of finding a single funny item on this site I read your insane comment and now I am pissing myself laughing.
Great comedy I can remember these shows on TV comedy to day is lost on me these were great no one shouting racist no woke briged no one shouting sexis good old comedy
