He was always like this, even off camera. We met him by chance on a Dublin hotel corridor, less than an hour after our Gran died. As he passed,he got in three one-liners which had us in stitches.RIP

[@kezzer2]

RIP Frank,used to watch you with my late Dad...he was Northern Irish....laughed so much together.God bless you and your family....nice post...thanks.

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

just loved to listen to this brilliant man he was a class act.this is one of my fav clips.

[@magic1968]

Thanks for all the memories, a true comic RIP Frank.

[@delvoniaquasbex5902]

He once said " The trouble with Ireland is - too many Protestants, too many Catholics, not enough Christians".

[@wainwright3]

Wonderful quote. I lived in Northern Ireland through all the bad stuff.

[@Fredders88]

@@wainwright3 But it all depended where you lived - north county Down for e.g. didn't see too much of it.

[@wainwright3]

@@Fredders88 I would believe that, many nice parts were relativeky unaffected. I lived in Andersonstown, West Belfast. Away from there 22 years now thank God.

[@Fredders88]

I met Frank Carson in Heathrow departures 1981. He told me a joke, not too sure what he’s about, but it was to do with an arse and talcum powder. I laughed because I had to laugh. I didn’t get the joke, but he was a Roman Catholic from Belfast, who was in the parachute regiment, the British Army and he ended up being a mayor in a town north of Dublin. What a hero. God bless, Frank.

Still one of the Greats 2022 Thx Frank

[@Sabatinitennis]

A legend - has Tommy Cooper's ability to make people laugh within five seconds of his arrival on stage. A machine-gun comedian.

[@russellthompson9271]

Today's comics are shit in comparison.

[@baggie00001]

Bloody brilliant. Had the Audience and Clive under control within seconds.

[@MrDaiseymay]

he was too scared to let him speak. just a one man show of blathering stupidity

[@pmacc3557]

Yes the right way to be 😄👍

[@moroccocamel]

Thanks for the years of great jokes. You'll be greatly missed, Frank. R.I.P.

[@BrandenBrazil]

I had the pleasure of meeting Frank and his wife several time when I was kid. He is a genuinely lovely man.

RIP big man- one of the true greats.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Oh god he was SO funny, loved when he got in to the seemingly unstoppable flow of random jokes that he shows here.

[@pmacc3557]

Reminds me of Billy Connolly how he just takes off ... brilliant

[@dode5064]

Absolutely superb.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

For once, the programme was renamed ‘Clive Anderson Tries To Get A Word In’………Frank was utterly brilliant!

[@Mr_Lupine]

R.I.P Frank a great great comic and a lovely man. We'll miss you !

[@tonysadar]

I can`t tell you how much I like Clive Anderson. No, really. I can`t. As for Frank... wonderful comedian and human being!

[@mikeh5431]

Utterly brilliant!

[@Sabatinitennis]

Can't remember a comedian who was loved by so many people. His machine gun style of delivery was unqiue ...a MASSIVE loss.

[@3gor73]

A ture legend like his family said it's quite down here now god help them up there keep laughing in heaven frank none of todays so called comedians come close to the wonderfull talent you had rip frank

[@johnflynn5044]

Lived to make people laugh. A wonderful warm and very funny man.. The world is a lesser place for his passing

[@TheStevehow]

Lovely man very funny ..remember walking throough berkley square in london and could hear him telling jokes to passers by.

[@emmcatherine1460]

It's the way you tell it Frank

[@Irwinner77]

RIP Frank. A true gent loved by all sides in Belfast.

[@lamuella]

Fantastic bloke. utterly at home on a stage. RIP.

[@BOUNCERBABE]

Frank had a lovely friendship with my ex husband. It all started when my ex became Frank’s post man, and the rest was history. So many times, I saw Frank, in the butchers I used. Every time I went in, and he was in there, it was going to be a long wait for my Pork Chops. But I have to say, how he is on stage, in interviews etc, is exactly what he was like in real world. Again, when we saw him in town, u could hear him before seeing him, and his poor wife was walking 8 foot behind him. Every time I go past his home ( for those who are interested, I live in Blackpool) I always look at his house and feel sad, because an incredibly talented, genuine, gentle, kind hearted and selfless man once lived there and it is so sad. It is the same every time I go past the house, which the Nolans grew up in. Every time I go past there, I can’t help but think of Bernie, another talented and kind hearted person. I’m no stalker or celebrity chaser lol. I pass their houses every day whilst going about my business.

[@markdaly1903]

frank carson was the greatest irish comic a very, purely funny guy. had a very serious side to him regarding his faith

[@easterboc1]

Good lad Frank. Very funny. Loved forever.

[@prom204]

They'll never be another! He'll be sadly missed. Although from Belfast, he made his home in Blackpool.

[@russellthompson9271]

Real comedian, our Frank! Funny face and voice. Doesn't even need to say anything! He was a comic genius. Like he said, it's the way he tells 'em!

[@fuzzmeister13]

watched him last night on comedians dvd cried laughing

[@tgustavkreuter]

I can't imagine how much fun it would be, to be so incredibly quick-witted.

R.I.P. Frank Carson It Was the way He Told 'em

[@owenmartin3307]

unfortunately this type of comedian is sadly extinct, the standards for comedy like music have gone down so much now, anybody can tell a big long story about how your ex brushed her teeth but it takes real talent to rapid fire punchline jokes and without resorting to words like shag or fcuk. hopefully kids will see some of these clips.

[@stevechristie2569]

heard his Titanic joke?

Agreed. He was so fast Clive Anderson was out classed
