YoungWillz 21,179 Posted May 9, 2019 Still watching Question Time, but caught sight of this. I will say that by the time I was seeing Freddie Starr in the 1970s, he was already old hat. His impressions were out of date and his jokes were a bit grating even for the time. I will also say, however that he was a master of slapstick, and should have concentrated on that. Very much marmite cult. In any event, an institution, so RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsewipe 202 Posted May 9, 2019 The likes of Starr, Manning and Jim Davidson get crucified in todays PC bullshit world for their acts in the 70s and 80s, yet most modern day comedians seem to get away with the same act for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I'd bracket Starr with Manning and Davidson. Starr was from a music background initially, so was exposed to a wider circle of people and he was clever not to push the rather blatant narrow "comedy" of the latter two. Interestingly, if you watch episodes of things like The Two Ronnies (oh how beloved they were!) from the early 1970s, the open sexism and racism would take your breath away today. Times were different, really different. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted May 10, 2019 Given how high-profile he once was I'm surprised how low profile the reports are. Main item on BBC Entertainment page at the moment but didn't hear it in the radio news headlines. Bit harsh IMHO https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment_and_arts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
