[@iainrae6159]

I was born in Greenock and Chic was my Mum and Dads favourite comedian. Legendary man and wonderful to see how successive generations admire his work.

[@RogerDDog]

I could watch Chic Murray for hours. He has the best delivery. A funny, wonderful comedian and much more.

[@glensmillie5101]

My father spoke of this man, warmly crediting him with touch and tact.

[@amc3]

Scotland's most unappreciated comedian, never fully appriciated, but a total genius.

[@thesoultwins72]

'Run along you small boys!' Chic Murray - a true comic genius

[@adamlaw1005]

He's my great uncle 💙

[@DeeDon90]

They dont make them anymore like Chic Murray great comic and all good clean fun thanks for uploading

[@mindyourownbusinessfatty]

Chic Murray's timing was superb, he milked every last laugh out of this joke. The sign of a great comedian.

[@tomcarslaw2117]

I was driving one day and Chic came on the radio. He did part of his act and sang ‘wait till the sun shines Nelly’ and I had to pull over because I was in absolute stitches and couldn’t safely drive. Genius. And the one about his trip to Canada and photographing the Mounties. They asked him if he wanted them mounted. Och no, just holding hands will be do. What a guy. And his visit to the doctor. Where will I put my clothes doctor, Oh, just put them on top of mine.

[@joeoconnor5400]

Ronnie Barker admired Chic Murray and did a spot on impersonation of him on The Navy Lark, as the Chief Engineer stealing the scenes from the other cast members.

[@MrGyges]

The great Chic Murray, heads above the rest.

[@doodeen]

A master !The greatest stand up comedian of them all.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

My favourite Chic Murray line is "I got up this morning, I knew I was up because when I looked back at the bed, I wisnae there!"

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

That sounds very Kevin Turvey

[@sdatgoldegg]

I was at this show - On Stage With Danny Street - It took place in the MacRobert Centre in Stirling University around 1973. I was about 7 and this performance blew me away. I met Chick afterwards and he put the famous bunnet on my heid!

[@meshuggah2]

I practically roll on the floor every time I see this!!! It is outstanding - hilarious and so clever - and his delivery is absolute perfection!

[@Nojnotpu]

Fantastic, he was a wonderful comeidian. "I could tell this person was walking toward me because he was getting closer all the time"

[@denismay6011]

Bloody funny and not a swear word in sight. New Age Comedians take note.

[@iamaweasel]

Perfection: timing with smutless perfection

"Long noses run in my family." Oh, this man is a joy to behold

[@Toolpusher]

Edinburgh's greatest standup of of the old school, there really should be a statue of him in the city. :)

[@DavidAndrewsPEC]

Agreed.

[@tony671]

Edinburgh? CHICK WAS BORN IN GREENOCK !

[@Toolpusher]

Born in Greenock, but became an Edinburgher by choice.

[@tony671]

AYE BUT APART FRA JAMES WATT HE WAS OUR ONLY OTHER CULTURAL FIGURE WE COULD CLAIM,AT IN THE RAIN.PS sorry bout the caps

[@Pambill54]

He was not from Edinburgh ...he was a Greenock man ,

[@noelrogan6175]

i love the one when chic was lying outside a shop and a wee woman walked past and said, did u fall over, to which chic replied ,no I'm trying to break a bar of chocolate in my back pocket,,, love it

[@Pumpherstonsmith]

It was hard toffee

[@KitchenFoyle]

pumpherstonsmith That you felt the need to make the distinction is even funnier than the joke! But to be fair to the poster, Billy Connolly also says it was chocolate when he tells the same joke in the video ‘An Audience with Billy Connolly’). Just wondering if my comment is funnier than your comment, too!

[@robertkincaid]

remember when The Two Ronnies were shown on the BBC and when Ronnie C used to do his monologue his style of comedy was very similar to that of Chic Murray and in many many ways Messers Barker and Corbett were huge fans of Mr Murray

[@Charlie-nq5qi]

Headmaster in Gregorys Girl as he shout's whilst playing the piano '' Go Away Small Boy '' Chic is the best Glasgow Comedian ever so fast,and just flows as a Glasgow Great does 10/10 ....video

[@epipick]

Saw him in variety theatres several times when I was a nipper. Chic Murray and Madie. He'd still go down well today.

[@kiwimike31]

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Chic Murray and Billy Connolly, the greatest.

[@adrianlang6550]

It is easy to see why this is such a famous joke. It is the delivery. I only discovered Chic a few months ago. There is a great clip of him in an episode of Jokers Wild.

[@MrNICOLBERT]

Murray Mint the too good to huury mint [PERFECT TIMING )

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

Chic was one of Billy Connolly's inspirations. Billy was a pallbearer at Chic's funeral and afterwards Billy was given Chic's trademark flat cap by his widow, Maidie.

[@mattouli]

He said once: "I don't know how old you are madam; but whatever your age is, you don't look it!"

[@BillDFC]

Genius.

[@Nautilus1972]

Connolly tells the story where Chic was walking down the street and fell over. "Are ye all right?" asked a concerned passer-by. "Aye" says Chic, "Ah was jus trynae break a bar o'chocolate in mah back pocket!"

[@donnycross]

isn't this just great,I love,(have you heard the one) humour.

[@billymcmonagle949]

[@KUTnim6vun]

Chic Murray was very popular all over the country in my young days. I saw him in 1956 at the Dudley Hippodrome in the West Midlands. He was great. It's been a real treat to see these videos of him. Pity there aren't his sort of comedian around today. The Hippodrome, unfortunately, is under threat of demolition at the moment. A sad comment of the times.

[@rogeralsop3479]

Terrific!

[@sammckinstry]

Billy Connelly, Elaine C Smith and Johnny Beattie analyse very well what contributed to Chic's unique style. One point not mentioned yet is that Chic's 'pit oan' accent was very clearly intended to make fun of the many working class Scots who tried to pass themselves off as 'posh', or 'middle class'. The 1950s and 1960s were still rife with petty social class distinction, where one class looked down on the other, genuinely feeling they were 'better'. Children and parents of big families were one target for these social snobs. Chic, through his hilarious remarks, takes the snobs and their pretensions to the cleaners. I think his 'bunnet' is intended to suggest that the snobs often can't escape their roots, by firgetting that posh people seldonm wear bunnets.

[@wishfix]

Legend !

[@stevedoubleu99B]

Chic made a very convincing headmaster in Gregory's girl.

[@nzsooz3884]

I saw that movie years ago. Very good, will have to find it again to see Chic.

Chic was the Scots equivalent of Tommy Cooper. Eric Sykes, Ken Dodd, Morecambe & Wise and anyone you care to mention!

[@theoddbin8441]

The best

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

Chic was one of the most unfortunate people in comedy ever. He had travelled to America and found a sympathetic agent. He was about to hit the big time when his agent was killed in a Car accident.

[@littledovehill6117]

Chic and his wife Maidie were friends of my Grandfather,who was a music hall artists. I once met them in his house in the Calton. Chic bent over and said to me hello son, were know as McNaughton & Rotten, looking down at Maidie he said; now dont ask me who's rotten.

My favourite Chic Murray line : I was lòoking around me trying to find my bearings when I came across one of those fancy houses with steps leading up to the front door . I knocked on the door and this well dressed , well spoken woman answered . I said , excuse me madam ...do you know where the Chemist's is ? She looked me straight in the face and said , no , I have no idea where the Chemists is . I said , well , it's just round the corner , first on the right .

Wonderful Chic.....I gave a thumbs down because.....you cut him off before he had finished telling his story.....ah..they don't make them like that any more.✨🎇

[@glasgowweddingvideos1569]

He was a liked in the posh parts in Glasgow but in the hard working areas no one really known who he was.

[@Mudge07]

Clyde Weddings The Big Yin and his fellow shipbuilders wouldn't of heard of him? From Billy's contribution and comment, Chic wasn't that exclusive. Maybe some might not have laughed along with his brand of mirth but they were aware of him. Watch the Susan Boyle audition for how another Scot used Chic's brand of humour.

[@68blues]

Chic actually said neutral gender. Now that's interesting. When was this filmed?

[@jazzman1626]

By the appearance of Billy Connolly, it would have been filmed in the early to mid 1970s.

[@jeanettebassford3186]

Iremember seeing chick Murray on the Liverpool Pavillion (Pivvy) when I was a little girl a number of times. I was taken religiously every Saturday night 2nd House by my Parents. He was very funny with his dry humour very similar to Rob Wilton a Liverpool Comic very popular at the time. Chick appeared on TV a number of times just lime Max Miller but didn't appear to enjoy the same acclaim as on live Stage. Maybe because comedy styles changed and became influenced by AMerican TV humour?
