Blaster Bates. The cess pit.

[@rogeredwarrddeshon5000]

I have loved British comedy all my life and cut my teeth on The Goons, Hancock, The Carry Ons and such. I'm now 70 and still love it. This chap was very very funny.

[@alankenworthy9722]

One of the best raconteurs of all time, Blaster Bates is the genius of Cheshire culture. Middlewich and Holmes Chpelle(as he called it) were the scenes of his life-threatening comedy.

[@robertdavey6]

This ought to carry a government health warning!! I've split my sides, laughing. Better than an awful lot of so called comedians.

[@marcel911]

I wish I had seen him live. He was a great story teller..

[@alansmith9080]

I did see him live and yes he was a great story teller kept us in tears of laughter all evening

[@51WCDodge]

@@alansmith9080 Agreed , I saw him at Reading , a long time ago. Try driving home on a motor bike when you still can't stop laughing . 😁

[@silent1mod]

my dad loved blaster bates, he had all his albums, i listened to him for hours on end laughing in pain.

[@drohegda]

I am from the USA and i have seem them all in my country but Blaster Bates is one of the greatest i have ever seen. His observation comedy is the Best.Thanks to youtube and Dyynamo i would have never experienced this good man.He may have pass on but he still has us laughing. Thanks for the videos.

He was a friend of mine. He used to take me range shooting as a kid. He was exactly the same in person. A great man, and really missed.

[@ampersandtay]

Ah! I remember pissing myself listing to old Blaster, decades ago :-)

[@snerper]

Good old Blaster, I remember him well!

[@Bud-gk8bw]

Comedy gold. Or brown, as it were. A very funny man.

[@woodlandsteve]

He was a great guy. Sat on his motorbike many times as a kid down Samdiway at the s rambler meets and clay shoots

[@woodlandsteve]

Scrambler

[@Dazsvintagestuff]

I seem to remember he had DO NOT CRUSH written on his crash hat.

[@StephenOwen-b1s]

Bloody brillent still missing him

[@eliotreader8220]

that POW probably didn't understand what they was up to and possibly thought Blaster was a dotty English man

[@michaeltaylor3068]

seen this great man at chesterfield AGD 1984. Chap who booked him had tried chas n dave who wanted £4,000. When he phoned Blaster Bates he said £140 and pay for my diesel.

[@charliebates245]

hes related to me..

[@rogeredwarrddeshon5000]

I always chuckle when Blaster says "Will you tell him. I've got a gammy leg". If you remove the full stop it's quite funny. It's like a Nurse's name tag - it says Shiela and a patient will ask "What's the other one called"?

[@philiprobinson256]

In case anybody's not aware this was also on Blaster's first LP Laughter With A Bang under the title The Shower Of Shit Over Cheshire

[@ShiivaWilding]

My Dad was a huge fan of Blaster, and I wanted to get him a special father's day present this year. Never came on to thank you for the recomendation, I had no idea Blaster made any recordings but I was able to order them all for pennies. Such a great storyteller, Dad was over the moon when he unwrapped them, so thank you very much for making a special day that much better!

[@PhilDrury]

"I have never seen a bloke lean so far back without falling on his arse!"

[@cogidubnus1953]

the shower of shit over Shropshire was truly a classic...

[@DAVEBLISS2007]

Great Classic humour old style.

[@simon201063]

Great storyteller.

[@davewolfy2906]

Do not play freckles.

[@philboboggins]

Glad you liked it

[@jas20per]

Sandbach is not the same after you left blaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@philboboggins]

i dont think its avalable on dvd this clip comes from an old VHS tape,that a friend copied to dvd and then i AVI'd it. ( hence the not great quality) the good news though is you can still get the tape from Amazon, hope that helps..

[@knockando2001]

[@andrewdrummond-burnett2945]

My Childhood.

[@CheeseFrenzy]

Class!

[@philboboggins]

[@10wanderer]
