Larry Grayson on 'The Good Old Days'

[@hunkhk]

How fabulous to watch this in 2024. An amazing quick witted entertainer the links of which we don't see the like any more. Very very funny I laughed and had a big smile on my face all the way through. Inoffensive, no vulgarity but so so witty

[@robertcotgrave5920]

When God created Larry Grayson he broke the mould. Wonderful Wonderful man. Sadly missed. But never forgotten. RIP sir.

[@hunkhk]

If only Larry knew how much he was loved and is still bringing so much pleasure via youtube. Such a sweet soul

[@RobertLocksley385]

I like to think that he knew because he lived well knowing that he was popular with the people.

[@flashtheoriginal]

Masterful. A true comic with impeccable timing, one of the greats. It all seems so effortless, but the comedian fraternity all agreed that Larry was up there with the very best as he worked and worked with performance at his core A true entertainer who truly loved his audience. My mother met him once and he was a total gentleman with time for everyone God bless you Larry. A lovely man x

[@TurnFullCircle]

makes me laugh out loud 50 plus years later...so sadly missed. all the best.

[@PK-yf3hd]

We can never repeat or reproduce this level of comic mastery

[@Mark-xl3ns]

I try to be 😍

[@jeperstone]

From a time when a performer and audience could both laugh at themselves. We didn't know what we had. Sadly missed. RIP Mr. Grayson

[@paulstarr6316]

I feel sorry for todays young people,what dross they have to watch. I feel grateful to have seen some of the top comedians.Thanks for posting these 'Good Old Days' shows,magical .

[@fayesouthall6604]

This was great fun 🤩

[@Bond2025]

I grew up seeing things like this on TV, together with Dick Emery and Are You Being Served. Larry Grayson was a true genius and excellent performer. He had the Ken Dodd way of making people laugh, really enjoy themselves and not have to result to crude language. I have started watching these shows now I am older and can appreciate the true value.

[@paulstarr6316]

Looking at what's available on TV now is like looking at a barren wasteland, no real comedy, God bless you Larry.

🤦‍♂

[@aiden985]

True legend...timing to perfection and belly laughs always ... So many jaw aching smiles and pleasure he brought to so many! Sadly missed... RIP Larry 😪

[@Macrogue65]

The timing is impeccable. One of the first comedians to engage the audience directly - with such respect and fun.

[@davidsheriff8989]

Down to earth and no bad language....sadly missed in today's dross of so called comedians..

[@321bytor]

He was brilliant. As are so many modern comedians. What's 'bad language'?

[@TheBrummie60]

Nuneaton's finest son. Bless our Larry. 🙏🏻

[@Degjoy]

We have incredible comedians today. The past was not better than the present!

[@barrypinkerton5685]

We will never see their like again

[@simosino6763]

@@Degjoyproblem with today’s comics they are obsessed with politics

[@camptube7621]

His timing and asides was perfect. A lovely man and a legend. RIP Larry.

Always loved Larry Grayson 😍 he always made me laugh 🤣

[@Mark-xl3ns]

Which your not allowed to do anymore laugh that is people don't like it their all miserable sods on cheetham hill village Manchester 😍

[@stewartlone3445]

Larry always won over an audience within seconds and the intimacy of the City Varieties was perfect for him; seated and relaxed, he was at his finest with this sweetly charming but sweetly cheeky song, 'Madeira, M'dear'.

[@JS-fk9oj]

Fabulous!

[@paulwalker1793]

Thanks Larry for the laughs. 🌹

[@Robby334]

Watched every episode of the good old days 😍 learnt alot from the good old days 😍

A true Entertainer of the 'Old School'.

[@norahsearle7237]

My mum loved this show ❤️🙏🏻

[@simonlumsden6045]

Brilliant

[@jonhart7630]

Superb - watching a comic genius. Nobody could play an audience like Larry - maybe Frankie Howerd comes closest.

[@dilltdog1158]

My nan had a bicycle exactly like that one. My nan & grandad were also fortunate enough to get tickets for The Good Old Days. Such tickets were as rare as hens teeth so I was told and one's name could be on the waiting list for many years. As a nipper I loved Leonard Sachs and The Good Old Days on TV.

[@robbryant52]

Comic genius makes it look so easy and the timing spot on

[@JT-dn1id]

However does he do it? It's just amazing skill.

[@YvonneBowe]

They loved him

[@neilblackshaw3486]

Absolute legend. What a gent. Genuinely funny, not resorting to bad language or smut.

His facial expressions remind me of a cross between Mick Jagger and Tony Blair 😂

Love Larry

[@davidmoore8857]

Reminds me of Frankie Howard

[@Bond2025]

ooooohhhh, you are awful, but I like you !!!

[@davidmoore8857]

@@Bond2025 That was actually Dick Emery's catchphrase ( when he was dressed as a woman)!

[@Mark-xl3ns]

What happened to everard 😍

[@RobertLocksley385]

When to be "on the other bus" was considered a shameful life and one to be kept secret by the supposedly "Upper-Class Establishment" who were closets themselves, Larry trod a smashing line between popularity and consciousness, and won the hearts of people whom he thought might have hated him. Hats off to him, Frankie Howerd, John Inman, Kenny Everett and all their people for giving straights a reason to love gays when gays didn't want to be loved by straights, and those who pretended they weren't made the lives of those who were a nightmare.

[@ranger15706]

Could someone explain why he calls attention to the candle burning on Leonard’s podium?

[@JuggiesArchive]

He was always doing little asides like that 😉

[@flashtheoriginal]

The running joke was that Leonard held a torch for him

[@alanbromilow8218]

Just makes you laugh.Not a bad talent😂
