I just adore this lady. You can keep your comedians chat hosts entertainers etc. etc. She has everything that is missing from pure Innocent humour in this generation. Ah well! That's progress I expect.?
This wonderful lady does so much for charity, there should be some recognition for the wonderful discreet work she does. She helped me with my charity, a great performer, thank you Pam
I love you, Pam Aires. I have always followed you (not in that sense!) I saw you when you visited a town in West Sussex many years ago. You're poetry is amazing & so down to earth. X
Ever since I first saw this lady as a youngster, I have considered her unique. The manner in which she produced these riddles and poems that could make you choke on your coffee and cake had tears popping out on a regular basis
I'll be 70 next week and recognize so much from this.... even though I'm a man... we were still allowed to grow up by finding out... learn from your stupid mistakes instead of being told what to be aware of. If it hurt you knew not to do it again.. at least not that same way... thanks Pam for reminding me of a great childhood... And yes..... I too regret not taking better care of my teeth.... the best advice I can give youngsters... take care of your teeth and go see your dentist often.... very often.... Not that I have dentures or something but I'm missing a few teeth on the side....
Top marks to you Pam ... your humour is so natural and so welcoming. It brightens my day whenever I hear your voice entertaining us with your charm & wit. Sooooo, oh so wonderful. My heart rejoices.
What a 'genius'!...UA-cam has just uploaded this one-hour 'theatrical' act from this Poet (who should be, and possible is, a national treasure) and am amazed at how Pam Ayres can recall and recite a story-line that is full of comedy, pathos and down-to-earth humanity! Am amazed, she certainly is a fantastic performer!!!
First class! That knack of always catching you off guard with a glimpse of the absurd just as you think she's getting solemn. The best comic poetess and stand-up of all time and a great inspirer.
What a fabulous talented clever and witty lady . Pam is a national treasure. What is there to dislike about Pam . Love this lady to bits and that’s coming from Jim Davidson fan and a rock music fan I could listen to Pam all day . Fabulous fabulous lady .
She is so lucid and articulate. She clearly has a great use of descriptive language and a quick mind. You only really see it when she’s in this monologue stage-show format.
Rosalind, it's not "EYRES", as in , "JANE EYRE" , IT'S "AYRES".☺️. That's 3 times mis- spelt around this video....☺️. Pam has developed a jolly good show , hasn't she ! 😊. 🇬🇧💕⭐🇬🇧😊🌈🇬🇧
I love Pam Ayres. I have seen and read Her since 1981, when a colleague intrduce me to her poetry. Since than, my daughter has taken me to see her live shows in Melbourne. I have several of her Books of Poetry and a couple of he DVDs.
Pam ayres is a great favourite with our family .we have seen her twice in different places .wonderful jokes and marvellous one man show or one woman show rather .
Whenever I want a good laugh, I just watch Pam Ayers and then I don’t feel so bad in this tumultuous world. Thanks Pam for just being you and being so clever with your poetry and beautiful accent. Cheers, 🦘🌹
Hi, Rose Aussie ! I just thought, I'm an " English Rose"🇬🇧, you're an "Aussie Rose ".🇦🇺 I like Pam Ayres in a similar way to Joyce Grenfell : Gentle humour.😉 Best Wishes from "The Old Country" 😉🇬🇧 🇬🇧💕🇦🇺😊 🌏💕🇦🇺
charles w Rogers .....I couldn't agree more, Charles. These days, they seem to think that foul language and explicit jokes pass as entertainment. They don't!
You are so right. There were some foulmouthed comedians back in the 70s,bernard mannering etc,but the majority were clean. Now they're all filthy.every time you watch Norton etc.just disgusting.
Hear! Hear! Give that woman a knighthood. If Tony Bloody Blair can have one for dragging us into a war we didn't need that brought such grief and misery to so many - why not to honour someone who has brought such love and laughter into the rest our lives.
Pam Ayres is thoroughly deserving of a knighthood [is there a female equivalent?]. She's a peerless national treasure. She's such a professional that she manages to give the impression that stage-work is not her regular job. She's ingenuous yet subtle and engages with her audience in a manner that invites their participation and anticipation. That wide smile, the timing of it, it's almost a command, "This is where the punch line comes....ready?" Pam is a gem, a pearl, an elixir, a tonic. Her gift for humour and knowing when the audience can fill in the blanks is a rare gift. Sometimes what she leaves unsaid is funnier. That gift is very rare..
@@barryogden1: Thanks Barry. I cannot believe I actually asked that question. I must have suffered some kind of Cerebellum interruptus. The hope that there might be one other soul on this planet who was unaware of this "female equivalent" is not a great comfort. I am inconsolable in my grief at displaying such intellectual indigence. There goes 20 years of so-called wisdomhood down the drain in one fell swoop.
Here in Melbourne I was waiting in the queue to get a book signed when the lady in front, who was blind and had a seeing eye dog, approached her, Pam jumped up and treated her so very kindly. She probably took her by the arm affectionately. That lady was truly blessed that evening! Pam has a heart of gold, and the most delightful perspective on everything!
I'm bingeing on this enchanting lady's performances. A fairly new discovery for me. (I live in California). She's WONDERFUL!!! I'm loving everything I can find of her's here on youtube. So many of my favorites are Brits. I only found Victoria Wood a year or so ago. She and Pam Ayres are TREASURES!!!
Pam, as well as being my Poet Laureate, you are even better as an honest, funny, down to earth lovely, kind lady. There should be more like you. I bet your family find you a laugh a minute as well as being the family Psychologist. Hilarious.
Wonderful. Very funny, and relevant to us more mature fans. We were booked to see her on a trip to Perth, Australia in April. Sadly our holiday was cut short because of Covid-19. and we had to return to the UK early. I’m assuming Pam’s tour was cancelled. Hope we an get to see her on a future occasion.
I've heard Pam so many times on Just a Minute, I never really knew what she did apart from that until I saw this. Brilliant stuff, a sort of performance that you don't get much of these days
Oh dear, it's 230 am! I must sleep, but I don't want to stop watching Pam lol 😂 😂 😁 bugger I'll watch the rest later in the day. Thanks for the company and laughs xxx. ❤️🌃
Pam, at 6:36 states that her one introduction to the Facts of Life were, "Don't you go bringing any trouble back here" without specifying what this actually meant. I had an aunt who told me that she got married to a soldier in the middle of the First World War. She was 26 and knew nothing of the Facts of Life. The only thing her mother said to her was, "take something to bed with you" again, without any explanation. Her husband, also a virgin, had the advantage of working on a farm, however and knew what the animals were up to! He was on a week's leave and it took until the last night of his leave to achieve success in that department. Nine months later, the fruits of his loins came to pass!
I was partly raised by a Grand Mother who is about as modern and open as Pam's mother and all the other ladies and gents in the place she grew up in. I remember her constantly telling me not to spend too much time with girls and to not get them into trouble, or "embarrass" them. The look on her face was priceless when i told her , don't worry Nan , we mostly talk about the lads we fancy . That moment when you realize that your Nan would rather like you getting all the girls in the village pregnant rather than talk about the lads you fancy with them . Oddly enough , i'm now her favourite . Might has to do with the fact that unlike her other grandsons , i am the only one who never got distracted enough by lads (or birds for the other grandsons) to forget her birthday, grand mother's day, Christmas , New Year, Easter , for which she always got a card, a visit and/or a present from me .
Oh I remember bonfire night when I was a kid too. In the middle of a block of flats in Bethnal Green and I'm sure you can imagine what went on top of those fires when no one was looking out of the windows. Still... that was a long time ago.
I come across this wonderful video of Pam Ayres .I had to put my knitting down as I laughed so much .I identify as we all with all she says ,especially with the retired husband who know everything and is never wrong. Well done.
Reminds me of my Rough Collie Bella. While I collected my kids from school she had eaten half a birthday cake and a playe of sausages. I gad to buy more sausages anf bake another cake for my sons burthsay party
Well TWO things I always find PAM very entertaining Love listening Pam anytime(older) i REMEMBER BEFORE HAY WAS BAILED PAM!) NEXT i AM A FAN OF Reginald Dixon Now I see comments are all locked (Compton Lodge) can you tell tell me why You know ME!! Gordon EXMOUTH
Why does your employer wait for you to retire before they give you a watch (or a clock)? I mean, for the first time in your life you don't need to worry about the time of day, and NOW they give you a watch?
I remember watching her on TV in the UK in 1981. And she's still going strong. Does the present generation 'get' her? BTW in my relationship, I'm the one with more of an intuitive sense of direction than my hubby. (1:03)
Only Pam Ayers can tell it so uproariously. Love her.
Haven't listened to this wonderful lady for awhile.
I remember when Pam was on the TV talent show and won for soó many weeks, she's GBs darling of comic pros, 👏👏👏👏👏💕🇬🇧
❤😂just renewed my love of Pam's absolute genius after many years, how refreshing,
Oh I do love that brilliant mind of this lady. She never ceases to make me laugh aloud.
She is so funny - a natural cure for all life`s ills.
I just adore this lady. You can keep your comedians chat hosts entertainers etc. etc. She has everything that is missing from pure Innocent humour in this generation. Ah well! That's progress I expect.?
This wonderful lady does so much for charity, there should be some recognition for the wonderful discreet work she does. She helped me with my charity, a great performer, thank you Pam
I think she deserves a Damehood.
wwwwwwwwaawawaawawwwwwàaaaaaaaaaaa a
Still going. Pam
One thing correct...only thing she got right.... Evil woman still going
I love you, Pam Aires. I have always followed you (not in that sense!) I saw you when you visited a town in West Sussex many years ago. You're poetry is amazing & so down to earth. X
PAM is a gem, imight add a very clever lady ,love listening to her, bring back memories
Made me realise what wonderful world of common sense decency we once lived in. Will it ever come back?
Ever since I first saw this lady as a youngster, I have considered her unique. The manner in which she produced these riddles and poems that could make you choke on your coffee and cake had tears popping out on a regular basis
this wonderful gal has me laughing to tears. I love her wit and her delivery of her humor!! bravo.....
What a brilliant and funny lady. So clever and never boring.
I'll be 70 next week and recognize so much from this.... even though I'm a man... we were still allowed to grow up by finding out... learn from your stupid mistakes instead of being told what to be aware of. If it hurt you knew not to do it again.. at least not that same way... thanks Pam for reminding me of a great childhood...

Top marks to you Pam ... your humour is so natural and so welcoming. It brightens my day whenever I hear your voice entertaining us with your charm & wit. Sooooo, oh so wonderful. My heart rejoices.
Marvellous, lighthearted clean humour, proving you can be hilarious and skilled at the word magic. The big thumbs up from me.
What a 'genius'!...UA-cam has just uploaded this one-hour 'theatrical' act from this Poet (who should be, and possible is, a national treasure) and am amazed at how Pam Ayres can recall and recite a story-line that is full of comedy, pathos and down-to-earth humanity!

A lot more people should have seen this fantastically funny show.
You are fabulous Pam. This one was brilliant.. Love you.
Pam, you are a jolly genius, thank you for making a day bright and not hideous (honestly)
How is she a genius?
One person gave her a standing ovation. It should have been everyone... She is Brilliant.
Oh Hell! I gave her a standing ovation at home after watching this!!
The English are ultra conservative
First class! That knack of always catching you off guard with a glimpse of the absurd just as you think she's getting solemn. The best comic poetess and stand-up of all time and a great inspirer.
She isn't brilliant. She's boring.
What a fabulous talented clever and witty lady . Pam is a national treasure. What is there to dislike about Pam . Love this lady to bits and that’s coming from Jim Davidson fan and a rock music fan
I could listen to Pam all day . Fabulous fabulous lady .
Not witty.
She is so lucid and articulate. She clearly has a great use of descriptive language and a quick mind. You only really see it when she’s in this monologue stage-show format.
I so relate.. ditto with the map thing..now its Google but same thing..so much easier..lol😂
Fantastically witty and clever, a great observer of human behaviour. I remember listening to her with my elderly parents.
Brilliant. If only we had one talent like this these days. 2023. Year of the death of common sense Blessings for Pam Ayres. - the way we were
Her timing is impeccable. A genuinely funny woman.
Fantastic
Not really.
My gorgeous aunt adored Pam Eyres and I can see why. She’s utterly brilliant. So so kind and so so funny.
Rosalind, it's
not "EYRES",
as in , "JANE EYRE" ,
IT'S "AYRES".☺️.
That's 3 times mis-

A national treasure - nothing less.
Omg - every time I listen to Pam I am laughing so much she is bloody fantastic.😁👌

Pam's a one off. She's amazing and cheers me up too.

She refers to so many things in my own life. Brilliant
I could listen to her all day!❤u Pam
Love her ..who needs a counsellor when you have Pam !
Thank you for posting Pam always makes me howl laughing. She is so clever and witty and i love that she has clean humour
A gem like no other. She has literally laughing out loud. I can so relate to the map experience.

Great Warren very good imitation work she is quite fantastic
Warren Glover lm
The female equivalent of a knighthood would be to make her a "Dame".

Pam is absolute GOLD.
Love, love, love this girl’s sense of humour
She has brilliant observations and beaut poems. Like a cleaner version of Billy Connolly. Loved it.
You are so right about that, no need for swearing, just make it comical 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Pam is such a lovely lady, an extremely talented lady, I always enjoy listening to her...... and feel refreshed to face the world again ! Thanks Pam!

Ginny you will be hooked. She is just

@@marieob8088 Very happily hooked!!
Ginny Lorenz have you tried Dave Allen? His monologue about teaching the time is priceless
Have you ever seen Jo Brand? You might check out her LIVE AT THE APOLLO 2009. HYSTERICALLY funny!
Isn't she just brilliant..2 essential ingredients, humour and pathos..
ackie from Cheltenham ... takes me back fantastic! Just as good as I remember all these years ago on the tv
Pam, as well as being my Poet Laureate, you are even better as an honest, funny, down to earth lovely, kind lady. There should be more like you. I bet your family find you a laugh a minute as well as being the family Psychologist. Hilarious.
Hooray for Pam.
She is also a stand up comic as well as a poet and has amused and made us laugh for somany years.
Thank You, so much fun 😁💞
Comics are funny. She isn't funny.

I agree this lady is naturally funny and there should be much more of her she is fantastic a natural comedienne
That sounds just like my childhood I lived in a small village in Somerset I loved it xx
Nice to hear a little of pams poetry she could make a career of poetry if she tries.
She's quite a lady....I really enjoyed watching this. Will be watching all her others too! Thanks
Your name makes a most unfortunate Spoonerism!
Pam Aires, the meaning of life, it's all there!
Pam Ayres is better. 🙃
I was partly raised by a Grand Mother who is about as modern and open as Pam's mother and all the other ladies and gents in the place she grew up in.

Wonderful. I really love Pam 💕 💖
The subject of Pam's last item is very familiar but I wasn't aware she was married to my neighbor!
When she said, "I looked like a woman with her finger in a socket" I laughed so much I hurt myself. What's more, no one leaves tips in Oz.
Extremely funny lady. A real tonic
An absolute delight.
Love her stories
Brilliant. Gotta love Pam .
Sheer brilliance and class
Thank you Pam ...you made me laugh. You are amazing and I love you so much. Jayne...ystalyfera, Wales. Keep safe though this virus.😷❤
I come across this wonderful video of Pam Ayres .I had to put my knitting down as I laughed so much .I identify as we all with all she says ,especially with the retired husband who know everything and is never wrong. Well done.
what a shame your evening at Radlett for the beginning of June, was cancelled, so looking forward to it. Will have to wait for your next visit.
Wonderful! Thank you.
Utterly brilliant!
Pam uses our village shop to buy milk and has no Aires...boom boom.
*Ayres.
Say hello from me..
She doesn't put on airs?

Why does your employer wait for you to retire before they give you a watch (or a clock)? I mean, for the first time in your life you don't need to worry about the time of day, and NOW they give you a watch?
I remember watching her on TV in the UK in 1981. And she's still going strong. Does the present generation 'get' her? BTW in my relationship, I'm the one with more of an intuitive sense of direction than my hubby. (1:03)
Such a great entertainer!

Yes, too many sweeties in our youth will pave the way to many false tooth.
No YT vid will hold a candle to this!
My Mum did the pointing thingy and said “don’t you sleep with anybody”. I didn’t get it either as we were going to the Easter show.
