FREDDIE STARR LIVE AT ROYAL VARIETY SHOW 1989 FULL (RIP)

This is Freddie Starr, Britain's very best comedian, Best live performance of "Vincent......"
Goodbye to Britain's funniest comedian. Freddie Starr.
The main thing here, you made us laugh and for many years....
With the Queen watching at London's Royal Variety Show at the Palladium November 1989 (and you will see him nod to the Queen when something goes wrong) Freddie says to the audience:-
How dare people come out on stage and mime to songs and not sing their song live on stage, They have a man stand behind the curtain with a tape machine, he flicks it on and the music comes through the speakers and you think it's the artists singing and it's not, they're miming.....CHEATS!!! Ladies and Gentleman, I'd like to sing you a beautiful song now, It's called "Vincent" - and with a look out the back behind the curtain he says very quietly "TAPES!:"
The very best version and funniest performance from Freddie Starr,
London Royal Variety Show London Palladium 1989. Starts @11.48
(Apologies for the poor quality of VHS tape but included here also are Wayne Dobson, Frank Bruno, a very good performance by George Marshall which is of course a great lead up to the best performance...........Ladies and Gentleman....................tapes!!!
00:00 Wayne Dobson
06:44 George Marshall
11:48 Freddie Starr
19:17 Jerry Lewis

[@jacquitaylor5476]

Had to be the best entertainer of our generation RIP Freddie you were simply the best ❤❤❤❤

[@Piscesmermaid]

Just been watching this again, remembered watching it live on tv as a 14 year old (now 46 😱). Crying with laughter. Such a legend. No one compares.

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

The same goes for me Michelle!

The world needs a comic like Freddie star right now

[@alanjenkins655]

Freddie was absolutely fantastic

[@sharonellis8776]

God bless you Freddie. You were such a naturally funny man xx

[@reetpateet8656]

Comedy genius! One of the UK’s most talented performers - such a terrible tragic end!

[@elliottg.1954]

Freddie's greatest moment that will be a comedy classic after another thirty years. Very few stars could claim that honour.

[@paulelton8961]

freddie lived near me in warwickshire , he was always chatting , a nice guy who did loads for charity but got hounded by the disgusting press of our country ,

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

100% it’s thanks to those people at the top, Cliff Richard certainly said so. And we know who they are.

[@FallenAngel53]

My late Pops always said if Freddie has of been serious he'd have made an excellent career singing. Takes me back to when TRVP was something the whole family watched together.

"How easy to be a bird or an animal, living from day to day, unaware you're alive, unaware that one day you will die."

[@RSR423]

The man the myth the legend, Freddie Starr. Britain you should hang your heads in shame how you treated him.

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

Oh absolutely Yes shame on you Britain, you've got nothing else to do but twiddle your thumbs thinking who are we to get money from next, print bullshiit in the newspapers and so you decided to do this to the most famous and innocent people (a very slow clap clap clap to you) and Cliff Richard very recently, BB.bloody C .....And to those that made some money tell me are you happy now? You cuxts. We should all counter sue these individuals if there is such a thing and proceeds will go to Freddies estate. Lets hear it for Freddie Starr (freddies hands up in the air) applause.....

[@kimhammersley4891]

i loved him too and yes you are right

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

kim hammersley thank you 🙏🏻

[@paulinemorgan2939]

@@TheSonnyfaiz Thanks for the upload. You should read Jim Davidson's book - "No Further Action" - the same thing happened to him, and he details how he proved his complete innocence of all the fake accusations against him.

@@paulinemorgan2939 thank you Pauline I will get the book somehow, I read similar stories online it's sad, there is always someone controlling this. We know Pauline.

Absolutely fantastic, comedy timing unbelievably talented brilliant..

[@TheALan556]

Simply the best ever, will never be replaced no one could come close ❤️

[@georgeplagianos6487]

Hi thanks for giving us all these other stars along with Starr.. it's good to see a variety of different talents where they're all unique thanks again and good luck

[@mrwippy3112]

Saw Freddy live in Blackpool in 1985. Came out of the place aching with laughter.

[@tristman8413]

Freddie star and jim Davidson were two of my favourite comedians from the 90s, they dont make them like they used to!

[@Piscesmermaid]

A fact 👍

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

agreed :)

[@davidharrison3399]

Superb Wayne Dobson and Freddie Starr variety at its best , where’s it gone

[@northdevonpictures826]

It's gone down the toilet.

[@stevewhitefalcoln]

1st time I saw Freddy he was swinging across the stage as Tarzan in Wellies, Who do you do, I think was the show, 1969/70 I had tears from laughing, all these yrs later, I'm 59, in strict Melbourne Covid 19 lockdown, and again Freddy Star has given me a much needed fit of laughter, Comedy Gold ...

[@ronnieb1837]

I remember watching this at the time and they've cut out part of Wayne Dobson's act, probably to be PC... Around about when Wayne backs into Frank he says to Frank 'I'm not a funny fella' (in the context of meaning he's not gay) and 'Frank's' high pitched reply was 'I am'. It was hilarious and if someone made the decision to remove that part because they thought it needed sanitising then it's a travesty and probably does nothing other than reflect their own pathetic hang ups... Great to see both Wayne and Freddie! We were so lucky to grow up seeing these and so many other genius talents of the day...

[@kimhammersley4891]

i miss this genius he should be still here NO other person as funny as freddie RIP funny man x

[@martinistakis1825]

I always cite this event as Freddie at the height of his powers. Outstanding. X

[@sophiedavies5104]

Howling here with Wayne Dobson 😂😂😂😂 The impressionist was awesome And then there was Freddie OMG I can’t cope 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 love love love the Vincent routine

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

Sophie glad you liked this

[@sophiedavies5104]

Sonny F No thank you for sharing I don’t know how many videos I watched of him doing this Vincent sketch early hours of the morning,just hilarious 😂😂

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

This is the version I liked the best :)

[@Piscesmermaid]

It’s one of the best performances ever. I read that the Queen was in hysterics too. Brilliant 👌

[@wyb80]

Wayne Dobson....so very clever and so Funny..Excellent 👍🏼 Freddie Starr, what a Fantastic Comedian he was....👌🏽 Two First Class Acts... There are some Really good Comedians around today...but I just don’t seem to laugh as much as I do when I watch the older Comedians like Wayne and Freddie, Dave Allen, Kenny Everett, Ken Goodwin and many others..... thank goodness it’s all recorded so we can enjoy them again and again 👌🏽😊

[@appl3_p1ez69]

That mic to the face was genius 😂😂😂😂

[@stuartmacinnes8992]

I would watch television again for this quality of entertainment , we didn't know it at the time perhaps .

[@stuartmacinnes8992]

@chanctonbury63 Yes I do that a lot lately .

[@jonnymingham3119]

Wayne Dobson was brilliant as a magician and very funny. Hadn't realised he suffered from MS for years Freddie was an amazing all round entertainer and was always one of my favourites with Brian Conley, ken Dodd and Jim Davidson

[@MrDaiseymay]

THANKS FOR MENTIONING WAYNE, A TRULY ORIGINAL ENTERTAINER. WATCHING THESE GREATS HIGHLITES HOW BAD THE ENTERTAINMENT QUALITY HAS FALLEN RECENTLY

[@markdziadulewicz6160]

[@tricia1234gm]

I went to see him perform live at the Stardust Club in Usk Wales. Many years ago. OMG!! I didn't/ Couldn't stop laughing he was absolutely hysterical. My ribs were actually sore for a week after! The Man was a comic Genius and his timing was Perfect!!

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

What a great story you can tell us. I wish I saw him

[@bowler8]

Wayne Dobson was brilliant, and as for Freddie, never be another, and where were all his friends when he needed them most??

[@andybradley9959]

God bless you Freddie Starr we will all miss you so much rip

[@terryallen5328]

Wayne Dobson was brilliant, it’s such a shame his career was cut short by him contracting MS in 1988. He was certainly the heir to Paul Daniels throne as top magician in the UK.

[@PhilipAlvers]

ditto Terry, he was a high quality act.

[@janiliebenberg4407]

This is his best show by far😍😍

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

Omg yes thanks for your comment Jan..

[@LASTDAYSWATCHMAN777]

I wonder how Jerry Lewis felt having to follow someone like Freddie Starr...Who completely stole the show from him. Brilliant Freddie RIP.

[@mrmethane10]

British humour at its best. Freddie Starr was a genius. An overused word but not here. I actually watched this show at the time of broadcast.

[@ez3817]

Freddie so so so funny 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂 there will never be another Freddie. A fantastic funny man

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

There is only one Freddie Starr Ez

[@garyalberici3041]

The great incomparable Freddie Star, in a recent survey of best 100 comedians in Uk history he didn't make the top 100 - billy Connelly made it to number 1. What a joke he's definitely in the top 3 in my book.

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

thanks Gary, me too he is probably number one in my book

[@paulinecampbell8634]

If only Freddie knew how much he was loved wish he’d lost weight ,come back to uk could have worked in a pantomime I would have loved to have seen him live . Think he had depression and he just loved performing,he was a natural talent and is missed , I

[@tracylangsley4064]

I think I know where the idea of those animatronic half face masks comedians like Keith lemon uses came from....from Wayne talking for Harry and Frank. Brilliant so funny and as for Freddie, he'll be greatly missed.

[@Hotdog-zw7nd]

I have never laughed so hard. Why have I never heard of Freddy Starr?

[@dee4732]

Freddie was and. is legend of British comedy I remember watching this before going out I could not stop laughing telling my future wife about i This was a better time when people could speak openly The way they treated Freddie later on is f..k..g national disgrace Maybe one day all those critics journalists and SJWs will wake up And see the damage they do Sorry for the rant

That guy George Marshall who did the impressions was the best I've seen did the usual but did some that I have never seen anyone else do ..excellent !

[@MrBobthebird]

Wheres Geoge Marshall now ???>

[@shadow-Sun]

@@MrBobthebird think he retired quite early from the showbiz game ...one thing he did not end up was dying alone in Spain with no family or friends around him and broke and in a LOT debt so that others had to pay to repatriate his remains back to the Uk and bury him . ???? funny where life takes you eh ?

[@MrBobthebird]

@@shadow-Sun Thank you, Yes indeed, they say it was his divorces that broke him. Pity they couldn't; ( The ex-Wifes ) have got together to pay for his funeral ETC. But that's the way some people are, " JUST DO NOT CARE ". Very sad world now. Thanks again.

[@craighill2825]

I have the pleasure of working with George now and he is absolutely hilarious. Love him

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

If he would continue to do what he did best it would be awesome.... you can tell him from us here - There are many of us that say he is the best impressionist we have ever seen in Britain, I don't think anyone has done better than George Marshall.
