Omg. My mum and dad got tickets to the south bank studios to see this actual show. They spoke of the Texan with the whip (who did a further lasoo scene but it was edited out) as it was hysterically funny when Nigel Pegram placed the balloon between Larry's legs. In an outtake, Larry quipped "that could have ruined my Christmas". I'm so glad to have found it. If you listen before the show ends, as Larry wraps it up, the audience are already shouting "more!" and you can hear the huge reception at the end - everyone was truly entertained. I'm a huge fan of Larry, thanks for posting this, my mum met him once and said he was truly a lovely bloke, with time for everyone. One of the greats. We wont see his like again. Thanks for posting
A great bit of social history from a superb entertainer. I recall him in the 70s, I was about 7 or 8 in 75, my father hated any camp behaviour, and would not watch him, the rest of us loved his saucy humour.
also can know hes a very loving , warm person. see how he must touch the person next to him when he speaks. I noticed rod stewart on michael parkinson or some interview doing the same. i like rod stewart...down to earth....
His pauses and timing was really good.....all his innuendo is just so funny,,,,,,his soft manner,,,,and the way he audiences warmed to him so much....he was really funny 😂
the class of these comedians of gone by days...Theyre so professional even when theyre implying 'something'yet its so well done. Larry Grayson was an ace in this. the other one was frankie howerd
iseeolly I’m going to Nuneaton in sept for a week to visit certain places .as Larry would say “ no not those places” lol . He was one of our national treasures we were so spoilt 🥰🥰
Fantastic, I love Larry Grayson! Can't wait to see the new ITV3 documentary on Sunday. Yippee! It's great to think that Larry' will be on the telly again after all these years ... And so nice that he's still so fondly remembered and appreciated... He was such a talent, and finally seems to be getting to recognition he deserves...about time too! Very happy, can't wait to watch, ( Sunday, 9pm on ITV3. Please tune in if you've a fan, thank you. )
For me it's not the main innuendo punchlines with him but the bits in between. He just talks and talks and it's nonsense! It's really great. It didn't really matter what he would say it's the way he said it all the time....it just verges on the ridiculous and is so hilarious.
Good old Larry. He wasn't much of an actor, but so entertaining. A schoolfriend of mine in the 80s was on his way back from holiday with his family when the family car got a puncture. A blue rolls royce pulled up and the driver got out. He asked if they needed help He offered to drive my friend's dad to the local pub to call for help. He got in the car, and there was Larry Grayson! He said what a friendly and generous guy he was. My mum and dad also saw him perform at a local pub in Gloucester, and Larry spent time after the show talking to people and enjoying a drink.
A classical episode! I grew up in Apartheid South Africa so we never saw Larry thanks to sanctions (America was less severe: lots of their TV was sent to South Africa back then. I adored Carol Burnett, but Larry Grayson would have given her a run for her money). Many thanks
I well remember seeing Mr G at the old Cresta Club in Solihull, way, way back in 1972. At the time I thought he was really funny and, just the next year, he hit the big time and the rest is history. RIP Laz!! ("He calls me Laz! I could smash him!!)
Those stairs at the start of the show are a trip hazard. No handrail, big drops on each side, flashing to make you disorientated and smoke to hide the next step - what could possibly go wrong.
My old Dad and me were in fits of laughter watching these on Saturday.

Classic British comedy. Used to watch it all the time in the 70s and 80s, still as good. Brilliant.😊
Such a wonderful gentleman.

RIP Larry you were one of the best,would have gone down well in the Carry on films .Don't shut that door showing any more clips .

Very moving when at the end of his shows tell his audience he loves them very much its ad if he doesn't want the show to finish
Absolute gem of a man 🥰
We all love you larry...
Because of " are you being served", I had always wondered who Larry Grayson was,he is so funny! I love double entendre.
Totally brilliant
I'm only halfway through, and Larry's performance is fantastic. Such a natural person. I don't think he acted. RIP Larry.
David Lodge - great support actor in many Peter Sellers films.
Larry is funny
Just watched the wrestling skit.the funniest thing I have ever seen!
There is educated funny and then there is naturally funny.
This is the latter.

You'll be glad to hear nothing did go wrong.
