Duncan Norvelle R.I.P.

[@nab1uk]

I remember him growing up but forgot how funny he was bless him !!! 😢

[@geoleolecky5056]

Seen him and others in Newcastle a few years ago and by god he was absolutely brilliant.

[@ahawkins628]

This guy had me in stitches. The old days were brilliant for comedians like Freddie Starr, Cannon and Ball, Morcambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies etc etc

[@AACE73]

Kenn Dodd too! I totally agree with you!

[@davidwhaite3330]

And Bernard Manning....T0mmy C00per

[@pir869]

And along came political correction

[@ahawkins628]

@pir869 yes and its gone to far. We have become far too sensitive.

[@beverleydabell3241]

I was lucky enough to be a girlfriend and then lifelong friend to Duncan, knowing each other for 50yrs. He was working in a Menswear Shop and i was in a boutique working inside a precinct when I saw him keep walking past and looking in. Later on that day he bought his mum in and said "Mum, I'll treat ya, go n find yourself a nice new dress while I talk to this lovely young lady!" God Bless him, its so hard to realise that he's gone forever. A beautiful, talented man. xx 😪💔🙏

[@Pete-ng5yi]

[@AACE73]

[@typicallondongal]

[@ann-mariebarmby1228]

Beautiful words I like you wish Duncan could have lived forever..❤❤xx

[@standenberg]

Remember him well, Duncan was a genuine talent from a fantastic era. Loved his impressions here, especially the Rocky/Stallone one 😂

[@karlorchard1616]

Ahh bless you wonderful Duncan Norvelle, you made millions laugh and I was proud to call you a Friend and the memory of you in attendance at my 50th Birthday celebrations. I will always remember you and your catchphrase will live on for many years…Chase Me 💔❤️💔❤️ God Bless You, you will never be forgotten and always you will be remembered xx

[@ann-mariebarmby1228]

Aww Duncan always loved him qnd his humour he came across as such a lovely man x

[@wintersun398]

Brilliant to watch this for the first time. Really two of my favourite comedians. 7:28 Those impressions were uncanny! 8:41 Wow!

[@reecewella4217]

He was frigging brilliant. Never missed him. So funny.

[@andrewjennison]

He was such an incredibly talented,warm hearted comedian.Saw him live in 1994 at Blackpool and was mesmerised by his comedy impressions.He also had the most tremendous singing voice with an impressive vocal range.Duncan Norvelle was a true talent that we will all sadly miss 🎉😢

[@colindavid2078]

My Dad and I are from Northern Ireland and we went to Blackpool every year on holiday. We first seen Duncan as a supporting act to Freddie Starr one year, and we pi**ed ourselves laughing at him skipping down the aisles! Such a great funny man, who we seen many times afterwards! Sad to see he passed so early, a great loss to the comedy circle and to us fans! RIP

[@kevinbeck6785]

Camp comedians who could laugh at themselves and we could laugh with them RIP Duncan xx

[@colindavid2078]

Yet, not gay at all! Smartly used the "camp" scene to do his acts. The man was as straight as an arrow! Only fancied women! One in a million the man was, miles in front of any of the modern comedians!

[@davidrowbottom9234]

Thanks for the fun in my youth Duncan. God bless rest in peace

[@dnf1903]

Had the pleasure of meeting Duncan at a Joe Longthorne concert in Blackpool. He was a lovely guy. RIP.

[@normanbridge8924]

wow what a very funny and talented man he was rest in peace duncan i am 57 and he always made me smile and laugh during the 80's there was nothing fake about him what a top entertainer he was

[@Problembeing]

RIP and thank you for the many laughs

[@richarddriscoll5201]

Wow .. what amazing and both much love and missed talent from these amazing artists 😊

[@garythomason9724]

Another one of the great comedians RIP Duncan

[@markbennett7261]

Always the greats that go first. RIP Duncan... thanks for all the laughs... totally irreplacable

[@monkeyface6139]

You actually think he was a comedy 'great' ?!? You need to get a grip of yourself. Please note the 'greats' that have gone before him... Both Ronnie's ; Chic Murray ; Morecambe & Wise ;even Monkhouse himself. He's not in that league.

[@ianfergalfarrar]

Yes, goodnight and God bless you, Duncan R.I.P 😢

[@ozandthemartianmonkeys173]

He was real talent. Not the crap of today

[@colindavid2078]

Well said! Christmas time is a reminder of how great comedy was in the 60's/70's/80's/90's/ maybe early 2000's!......after that it is a shambles! Where are the "Benny Hills", the "Freddie Starr's", The "Two Ronnies", The Morecombe and Wise", The "Grumbleweeds", The "Little and Large", The "Frank Spencer's", The "Alf Garnet's", The "Only fools and horses", The "Mick Miller's", The "Frank Carson's", THE LIST GOES ON!!!! I was born in 1984, and I wish I was born in 1950! I would have seen the best music ever, and experienced the best comedians ever, and also got one of the best snowfalls ever in 1962/3!!

[@paddlesportknut]

Became friends with him on later life, a gentleman. So going to miss him. 😢😢😢

[@colindavid2078]

He was gentleman, and a true genius of comedy! He will be greatly missed!

[@R3RLEE]

What an amazing man and performer.....❤

[@reetpateet8656]

Funny and very talented man, who purely acted the role! Sad to hear about his passing!

[@garrywood5345]

Saw him many times as a dj at a Cabaret club in Salford .Great impressionist. Gone too early at 66.

[@colindavid2078]

Amazing impressionist and a really great guy outside of his act! The best ones always get taken early!

[@MrDavey2010]

I was a big fan of Duncan but didn’t know he’d passed away. This is so sad. RIP

[@theagunton3811]

[@ann-mariebarmby1228]

Wish Duncan had ..had much 😢wider coverage ..much loved and never forgotten by his loyal fans x

[@Retirement1964]

RIP. He unfortunately had his 1st stroke in 2012. But carried on entertaining. Said in an interview he changed his catchphrase from "Chase me" to "Push me" because he was in a wheelchair. Brilliant Bloke.

[@colindavid2078]

He was a CLASS act! Will never be forgotten, by me at least!

[@ann-mariebarmby1228]

​@@colindavid2078and me ..for sure ..his death has been heartbreaking 😢😢😢❤❤x

Yes, many thought he was gay due to his act, but just a great actor and comedian! RIP Duncan x

[@Jahno71]

Shame the camp comedy act died out in the 90s I'm not sure what happened to him later he just disappeared off our screens. Very sad he was only 66 he seemed a lovely fellow RIP

[@donnawaldron3261]

I guess Julian Klary and Paul O'Grady carried on the camp humour. Bit different I know.

[@danzhooper3122]

Comedy genius,sad that he died,rip Duncan ❤

[@stepheng8779]

Duncan.frankie howard and larry grayson WHEN camp was hilariously funny.not smutty like todays so called comedians. Rip Duncan.

[@stevegordon2032]

Just a class act. We miss folk of this talent and wonder about the people who think they can replace them….because they cannot.
