- I remember watching this with my late grandmother back in 1994, it was sad to see Larry looking so ill but his humour was never up for question. It came as a total shock when he passed away not long after this was shown on TV.
This was taken from a vhs recording I took so for something that was recorded 27 years ago I was pleased at how well it turned out.
DISCLAIMER........ I do not own the rights to this show that was shown on TV in the UK.
I hope wherever he is, he can read these comments and realise how loved he was and still is. He left us 34 days after this performance❤
Here here he was irreplaceable
I find myself blessed to be 59, and to have come up through my years watching so many of our great British comedians and entertainers in the 60's, 70's and 80's, many of whom we will never see their like again, just brilliant. RIP Larry x
Me too my god we were privileged to live through the golden age of entertainment unlike the dire rubbish today
Loved him
Wonderful comedian. Lovely man. Very much missed. His last performance but on top form. RIP. Dear Larry Grayson. 🌹🌹
i agree,
It's better than anything shown today and classed as entertainment.
He died just 4 weeks later. A lovely chap. This last performance was so good. His act didn’t age, the asides are still so funny. God bless him.
I loved him, but he didn’t look well on this performance! ☹️
He always came across as a very kind fellow.
Indeed, he seemed like a nice boy.
bless him,i wish we could all give him a hug,
What an amazing guy, Total class, incredibly funny, and talented beyond belief. We don't have anyone like him these days I'm afraid, which is why I don't watch TV anymore.
Larry was the total professional to the end. Total gentle genius. Sadly missed. Love and peace.
This is an absolute treat to watch and reflect on the life of a very funny and gentle man.Larry was as ever a professional.God bless and keep him❤❤
I'm sure as he's coming off (oo-er) stage it dawns on him that it's probably his last time in front of an audience.
God Bless you Larry. You were so loved. A gentle, funny soul. RIP.
It's almost as if he knew it was his last performance RIP Larry
Yes l agree, l think Larry was aware it could be his last time. Even till the end his comic timing was spot on, and he had the audience right where he always had them. Just watched his " This is your life from 72, what a lovely humble man. Worked so hard, and really deserved every minute of his fame. I'm 62 and Larry was always a big hero of mine. R.I.P. Larry, thanks for the laughs x
Loved him. They don't make TV like that anymore! Larry what a legend! R.I.P and thanks for the laughs! Xxxx
A great performer to the end, yes to the end, this, his last performance was fine and touching at the end. R.I.P. Larry.
Great performer, and a great last performance!
What a way to bow out!
When you can walk onto a stage without saying a word and the audience go wild. Youre a true star.
Lovely fella, miss him and all the other great comedians.
I watched the story of his career recently and they referenced this performance as LG fading, what a lie, the man was still on point and funny as ever RIEP LG
I just watched that too and, sadly, I have to agree with them. His timing isn't as sharp, and that was a big part of his act.
Absolutely brilliant. Where have those days gone?
With our youth.
Legendary performer - absolute star.
God bless him. Struggling a bit here. But absolutely hilarious in his day.
Definitely not a sharp as he was in his prime, but still very, very funny! Such big hearted humour. Love him.
there will never be another like him.r.i.p
Great British entertainer sadly missed
For those of us of a sertain age, remember when this guy was hilarious, and a natural genius.
Heartbreaking now.
Poigniant and sad. He was a lovely human being. ❤
He used to drink in many of the clubs of Nuneaton and entertain everyone on his nights off.......not an inkling of "I'm famous"..... never heard anyone with a bad word about the guy....... and never any of the miners , foundry workers, brickies or the Coventry car factory workers ever taking exception to his entertainment
NEVER forgot his roots for one moment he knew that his comedy came from the working classes
I am from Nuneaton too and the older people used to remember him as Billy Bream at the Bermuda Working Men’s Club and loved him. I grew up in Bermuda Village
Lovely story, but what I expected. Not a bad word by anyone, a lovely kind man and so funny. Taken far too early. Thanks for sharing. This was a great performance and I still laugh.
So nice to hear.
I remember this being broadcast and my mom rushed into the lounge saying oh that’s Larry Grayson voice hahaha … Bless him he was brilliant
What a lovely man he was.
RIP Larry grayson I never forget Him
Quite fabulous.Incredibly funny guy.
I've watched many videos of Larry on YT and read through the comments, and no-one has had a bad word to say about him. Sad that this was his last performance. RIP Larry.
Lovely Larry made me laugh so much riep funny sweetheart xx
I had the privilege of being shown his This is Your Life Red Book. I only wish I'd met him though!
Absolutely joyous.
R.I.P. Much missed.
Wonderful to the very end ❤
Lovely Lovely msn, he didnt need foul language to get laughs, a brilliant comedian
4:30 Shut that door !!
RIP Larry
He made people laugh and never at him but with him.Larry was adored and Loved very Very much and rightly so.God Bless him and Thank you x
Shut that door
TV at its very best. The 1970’s & 80’s. So sick of what they class as great TV these days. Ant and Dec and the love island drivel
I visited his grave today.
@@icarus3604 I simply must make it a point to visit it myself
@@ScotSapper2208 it’s a very understated grave.
I think this is quite a sad performance. He has clearly lost much of his powers here. A result of being out of the game for so long. Wonderful character 'though and God bless him.
I think people willed him to succeed, even if he wasn't as polished as before. He bucked the trend in an age when life was faster, expectations became higher and the patience threshold became less. A genuine man, whose comedy came from his life experiences, non-threatening: a unique individual. ua-cam.com/video/_lotGzFaRbY/v-deo.html
He still made the audience laugh!
@@essexpeter6116he did make them laugh ❤
He still had the audience in stitches. I didn't feel he had lost his powers
Looks a bit like Tony Blair.
And yet still nobody likes Blair, despite Larry's popularity.
I’d give anything to happen upon a time-slip, finding myself back in the days before the lunacy we’re now dealing with - 1960/70/80s please take me back, let me get stuck there, when comedy was truly funny, before the perma-offended took over our entire lives.
Larry Grayson was the best, the older I get, the more I miss him…❤
