Bip 88 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I wonder if he's cleaned up his act. When he was at the Variety club his language was attrocious..............It's strange how things turn out, who would have thought that he would do so well over the pond it's normal for the American comedians to come over here when their carreers are waning but one of our fowl mouthed standups, funny world ha......or is it me being prudish....

bamber 128 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Following the showbiz theme does anyone recall the bloke - he had a very distinctive style - who presented a weekly feature on Radio Nottingham that summarised who was appearing at the various local venues?

BAZZER 10 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 whoa,,,, that title made me jump ! Being a Barry living in St Ives,,,,,,,, Rad',,, have you got a better/bigger picture ? My old mate - Kluck - and I used to knock about with a couple of guys in the mid/late 60's in the town centre pubs. One of them was called Barry,,,, and either he, or his mate had a chinesy look about him. Every pub we went into, Barry would just stand at the bar, turn around to the drinkers, & launch into 'an act'. After a pint,,,, on to the next pub, & another 'act',,,, and so on. No act was ever the same, so this guy had quite a big repertoire. Can't recall him being 'blue' tho,,,,,, My first visit to a Chinese restaurant was with these guys. It used to be at the bottom of Derby Road somewhere. The very best Chinese Pork I have ever had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 My first visit to a Chinese restaurant...It used to be at the bottom of Derby Road somewhere. Yes I remember that one. You walked past Coop house along Parliament street, right on to Derby Road. Past the Coop car sales and the Chinese was on a corner on the right. What was it called?

radfordred 6,284 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 And here is a link to Johnnie Singleton's bit on the BBC Radio Nottingham website. Seems he was also a Comedian ? Wonder why he never asked for a booking down the Variety ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZZER 10 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yes I remember that one.You walked past Coop house along Parliament street, right on to Derby Road. Past the Coop car sales and the Chinese was on a corner on the right. What was it called? Sorry Mick,,,, ain't got a clue. Probably a bit past the point of looking for names at the time,,,, either on Shippo's,,,, or maybe D.D on draught,,,,,, tho' my fave tipple was Worthy E. Every time I go to a chinese nowadays, I think back to that one. I don't recognise the 'Barry' pictures in this thread,,,,,,, which makes me wonder "I wonder what happened to the Barry that I remember,,,,,?" Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
