I am from Northern Ireland, I have seen many great comedians such as Freddie Starr, Frank Carson, etc. I seen these acts while on holiday in Blackpool England with my dad. My dad and I went to Blackpool every year on holiday for about 25 years, and we always went to see comedy shows! I will never forget the first time we went to see a show on the North Pier, and the supporting act was Duncan Norvelle! He came skipping down the aisles, and we almost piss*d ourselves laughing! The man was SOOOOO funny, that funny that anytime we came back to Blackpool we looked for him performing anywhere as we LOVED him! We have his DVD from years ago "just for laughs" and we watch it all the time! The man is, and always WILL BE a legend! So sad and so sorry that we have lost him! We have lost him, but heaven has gained a star! RIP Duncan, and thank You so much for the laughs You gave us! xoxo

Rip Duncan I met you a few years ago at a charity event and you was in a wheelchair after a short conversation with you. I said I can’t help it but “chase me chase me”to which you replied I’ve changed that it’s now push me push me. We both laughed so much again rest in peace, Duncan.

[@ruthbees7214]

He was a gold star. So funny with his chase me, oh you caught me. I used to pee myself laughing. Our condolences to his family and friends. ❤ Ruth and Mark

[@kendaleckley5285]

As well as a comedian a fantastic singer aswell. When someone asked why he's not on TV anymore he replied "because I can't cook". RIP Duncan 💙

[@terryreay5644]

OMG! I remember Duncan Norvell. I was a teenager when I watched all of his comedy shows. RIP 😢

[@davidharrison3399]

Saw this Gentleman in the 80s , never stopped laughing. Pure class act , great entertainer . RIP Sir you made many people happy.

[@johnmoore9862]

R.I.P Duncan, you brightened up our lives no end.

[@susanhawkins217]

Beautiful man R.I.P Duncan ❤

[@vordman]

I saw him in Jersey when he was largely unknown in the very early 80s. He was hilarious and it was obvious he was going to make it big. RIP Duncan and thanks for the laughs.

[@lloydburdis1960]

Remember Duncan so well, he was funny and saucy and will be greatly missed by so many, all strength to his family and loved ones and RIP comedy legend.

[@SloopyDog]

Chase me, Chase me. He was great RIP.

[@derekr54]

Another great comedian gone to the great beyond,you will be sorely missed R.I.P Duncan.

[@DezDogg]

‘Great comedian?’ That comment was funnier than anything he did! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chrisbutterfield5241]

Very sad news. Duncan had a iconic style of delivering his jokes and often had me doubled over with laughter. He was the fore runner for many comedians that have a similar comedic style as himself. I had no idea that he had to deal with the aftermath of having a stroke but what fighter he came back from it and performed again . Rest in Peace. You will be sorely missed x😢

[@neilcarpenter2669]

I remember him well always made me laugh good times, an era when people just wanted to be entertained and didn't get offended at the drop of a hat . RIP Duncan.

[@harpersmythe658]

Duncan my Jersey friend Top Cat. Top man

[@sharoncarter4086]

Sad to hear this news !

[@RobertHaynes-kw2sk]

It was the revival of "New Faces" with Marti Caine at the helm that discovered Duncan as a comedian. "Saturday Royal" was made by the same station, Central Independent Television, the successor to the fully established ATV in the 1980s. Starred Lionel Blair, the show came live from the Theatre Royal in Nottingham, only somewhere over the road from Duncan's birthplace!

[@JacknVictor]

I remember him.i was only a kid when he was famous. To be honest i thought he was a lot more than 18 years older than me. Rest in peace funny comedic pretend wooftah. Saturday nights as a kid were memoranble in part to your antics. You will be missed.

[@Azureecosse]

Sad news I liked him as a kid, we used to run about the playground at school shouting "chase me" when we played tag. I recently found out that Duncan was the original host for Blind date but they canned him and put Cilla in the top job before it went out on the network.

[@sharkytampy]
