[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Les was a lovely man who never let stardom go to his head.He should never be forgotten,ever.Such a great comedian.

[@MrMoggyman]

Gifted, special, unique, legend. All these words describe Les Dawson. Talented is hardly good enough to describe Les. He was light years ahead of the comedians today. No smut, no filth, just perfectly timed wonderful comic creations that Les wrote himself. The very very best. Loved in the UK by the people. The peoples comedian. 28 years on, and he is as funny now as he ever was. RIP Les, wife Meg, and Roy Barraclough. All in Heaven now, amusing the angels.

I met Les Dawson in Bridlington 1976, nice man he chatted for 10 mins or so. Thanks for posting.

[@richardholroyd1989]

When we sailed for Australia in 1969 Les was just getting going on TV I thought at that time how funny he was. Never saw him on Aussie TV all the time we lived here ....now I binge on him on the lap top. So SO funny

[@HaydnGuite]

One of the greatest comics Britain has ever produced. This man was hugely talented and put a smile on so many people's faces. He's certainly up there with Howerd, Allen, Emery, Carrott, Kay, Connolly, McIntyre, Hancock, Vegas, Morecambe and Wise, O' Briain, Evans, The Two Ronnies, all of them. Although he's gone, he's never forgotten Thanks for the entertainment Les ❤ 😊

[@anthonysmith8800]

When the band keyboard player is cracking up, you know he's good

[@Fcutdlady]

Great talent, writer, performer, musician, story teller. Sadly missed

[@andrewmorton395]

One of the great comics. R.I.P.

[@67lionsoflisbon37]

Such a very smart comedian. To me Les Dawson was a genius. So very very very funny.

[@andywilson9150]

What a nice and funny bloke & a legend. I met him when i was young in the hotel my family was staying in and he was in the bar with his mates playing cards. Such a lovely man.....i miss him. R.I.P. Les.

[@SceneArtisan]

5:12 So funny! I can hear genuine, guttural laughter which makes this all the more special. lol :D

'Paris was wasted on the French.' - Les Dawson

[@blueskye6372]

Hilarious. Love watching him from USA. 📺🎬🎥🎞️☺️

[@angelb3111]

Best comedian ever.

[@coolhand67]

I always found the idea of a squirrel funny. Like if you say someone was attacked by a cat or mouse or any other animal it’s not funny but somehow a squirrel makes it funny. I once heard that words and letters that draw your mouth into a smile position are more funny. The letter K for example.

[@carlkane653]

he was a very funny man god rest his soul.

[@signwriter1]

his comedy never gets unfunny , RIP funny man.

[@lewisholly4044]

Now you can see where " mrs Brown" came from.. Bless him, gone too soon.

[@jeremyhaines4481]

Rip Les Dawson x

[@dominewimbury2039]

Died only 15 days before my Grandad and only a year older than him as well 😔

[@NigelFowlerSutton]

Pure genius. The female interviewer, alas just didn't get his humour!

[@footsoldier857]

She needs a humour injection.

[@magirusdeutzjupiter2234]

Les was a natural, more than I can say for most the the garbage of today.RIP Les.

[@Syklonus]

Oh look, another "Let's shit on something modern" post. Do you not have the emotional maturity to just say you like something without simultaneously having to insult something else? You appear to have missed the fact that humour is subjective, so I'm not surprise that you're so insecure in your own opinions.

[@andrewd6830]

I think most of his gags went over the interviewers heads.

[@MrSlugny]

Fantastic all round..... didn't know Less the comic...

[@Fcutdlady]

he was a lot more erudite then you might think , he wrote books and poetry

[@nigelkthomas9501]

Lmfao! Les Dawson was bang on! 😆😆😆😆😆

[@dfcvda]

love him

[@micktaylor1991]

I met les in the late eighties . He was in panto. I’m sure it was babes in the wood. He appeared with John nettles from Bergerac. The funniest panto I’ve ever seen every one was in tears for over 2?hours. I met him in the bar after the show. What an amazing guy . It will live with me for ever mick Southampton u k

[@shrapnelicus]

bloody grammerly adverts,8 times before the clip would start,grammerly will never be on my shopping list !!!

[@BritinIsrael]

All adverts that interrupt any youtube programme go automatically on to my boycott list. The list is growing everyday.

[@rogeredwarrddeshon5000]

RIP PARKIE - AUGUST 2023.

[@harrysmith4780]

"You sat yourself at the piano?" "Well I found it more comfortable that way" Not scripted. Deadpan. Like he's trying to be helpful.

[@Wahey]

What's the punishment for bigamy? Two mothers-in-law.

[@lapponia77]

Who is the narrator? She sounds as if she is doing a documentary on waste water management.

[@philippaine]

Sounds like Penelope Keith

[@elvisleeboy]

Maureen Lipman

[@Maundervision]

It's actually Angela Thorne, of Three Up Two Down fame. Her poshness made a perfect contrast with the dear departed Michael Elphick's Cockney nudge-winkiness.

[@SuperFerdie1965]

Thought it was Sylvia Syms but maybe not!

[@MrBobthebird]

Who is this woman killing this interview,????.

[@garybland782]

Class

[@SquiralNutkins]

WHAT A LEGEND. I could never tire of watching him. Comedians today are just rubbish

[@peterbuckley265]

YES, THE ONLY TRUE COMEDIANS HAVE PASSED EG WILL HAY, TONY HANCOCK, SIDNEY JAMES, HARRY WORTH, ARTHUR HAYNES, DICK EMERY, . BENNY HILL, KENNETH WILLIAMS, TERRY SCOTT, JON PERTWEE, RICHARD BRIERS AND JOHN INNMAN ECT , ECT.

[@Isleofskye]

X wonderful man and very clever,witty and funny though I'm 65 I still think in Lee Mack,Tim Vine,Ricky Gervais and many others that there is still talent out there...

[@peterbuckley265]

YES LEGENDS LIKE ARTHUR HAYNES, HARRY WORTH AND DICK EMERY AMONSGST SO MANY, ALL NOW GONE WITH NO REPLACEMENTS BUT CRAP.

[@SuperFerdie1965]

Arthur Haynes and Richard Briers were to comedy what Jimmy Savile was to hospital portering.

[@richardcoleman1427]
