As a kid I loved Larry Grayson on the Generation Game he was (and still is) a national treasure. It’s now 2024 and again I’m laughing with wonderful Larry Grayson and at the same time I’m so sad at how we used to be and have fallen so far. If you remember lovely Larry Grayson then you are a legend.
Anyone who was in the audience for these was very lucky indeed, 2 absolute masters at their very best. You can tell Larry and Des were genuinely fond of each other. Wonderful stuff ❤
I have studied comedians for many years. No one had the comedic timing that Larry had. He said so little as far as jokes, but the stories, pauses, the asides were legendary. He could warm a crowd and be loved in moments he walked on stage. I am a massive fan of Larry and have read all I can about him. Not one person ever had a bad word about him. He still went in his local until his sad death. He came up through Social Clubs and was a regular at the local miners club. For an openly gay man to go down a storm with such a rough masculine crowd in those days was huge. I miss this guy every day and still howl at his comedy. A truly lovely kind and gentle man. God bless him.
Two of our finest entertainers and both genuinely nice people unlike some of the two-faced 'performers' on our screens today. They interact with such ease, no pushing or probing. Greatly missed.
I've just bought that book he mentions - Grayson's War. It's full of all his friends - Slack, Everard, etc. Laugh out loud funny. What an amazing and wonderful man he was. Real wit, and razor sharp timing.
My all-time favourite Larry Grayson line was from the Generation Game with Isla St Clair. She blew on a huge Didgeridoo, making a loud & very low-pitched sound, not unlike someone violently breaking wind. Larry looked at the audience and said: "You know, she hasn't been well all day."
The audience find him funny, because in those days people were shocked at someone being so outspoken. Whereas today, the majority of people are so vile to one another with their foul language and insults. People like Larry would be totally shocked. And yet so many people today claim to be so offended by older humour.
I love Larry,he was a lovely fella and one of our best comedians of all time.
Today's so called comedians should take note of how real comedy brilliance sounds.
R.I.P Larry and Des.❤
They may be gone, but oh my god, they will not be forgotten. Two absolute legends. I love these guys. Thank you for posting this 😂❤

If the audience laughs before he gets a word out that’s a real comedian!

Never seen either of these! Thank you! Watching them with a gin & loving every second! Bless you for sharing.
I watch these two fantastic performers, and I yearn for the simple old days💙
Brilliant, half the population today remembers this guy - can't we have old chat shows on tv like this instead of all the utter shite they put out?
I'm in my 60s and its good to have a laugh at a comedy legend.
I've just bought that book he mentions - Grayson's War. It's full of all his friends - Slack, Everard, etc. Laugh out loud funny. What an amazing and wonderful man he was. Real wit, and razor sharp timing.
Pure pleasure.
One of the greats larry sadly missed

Larry Grayson one of the Biggest Losses of TV. Went far too early. RIP.😢
