To engage and entertain an audience completely for 9 minutes without really saying anything is an incredible talent, such impeccable delivery.

Of all the things he did in his career, that we can see now, this was undoubtedly the finest moment, in my opinion. He sang really well, the banter flowed effortlessly and he got all the 'Graysonisms' in, one after the other, to wonderful effect. I'm so glad I met him, albeit briefly. Just wish I had been more confident at the time to express my admiration of his humourous talents. Much missed.

Oh I totally agree. Julian basically had a good 5 minutes that he's used for almost 40 years now and poor Alan is as funny as watching Ben Elton for 72 hours no stop and being beaten with lead filled rubber hoses if you fell asleep!

Why ?......because he was simply so funny.Even in real life he was no different.I had the pleasure of meeting him regularly in the shop where I worked in my home town of Margate when he was the Star (along with Rod Hull & Emu) of the Summer Season Show at The Winter Gardens in 1973. He was very popular and genuinely enjoyed chatting to everyone. We will never ever see his like again !!

Larry Grayson could get achingly funny loud as a cannon belly laughs with just a raise of an eyebrow. He was, still is, one of my fave comics. Fast as anything. I remember vividly watching from the side of the stage at London's Talk of the Town, in Leicester Square, during the late 70s and he just blew the room away. Larry absolutely killed it that night. I learnt more in that 45 minutes about stand up than I had in my previous 5 years. Yes, I started early at 15 playing the pubs and working men's clubs all over the South. Larry was a very gentle and humble man. Full of advice that I soaked up like a sponge. Damn but I do miss him. So very funny. R.I.P Larry ❤️🙏🏻

He was kind, funny and very, very gay. He did yeoman's work in counteracting the nastiness of bible thumpers and Tories towards gay men, just by being himself. People would hear the sermons and parliamentary rants against gay men and think, "Oh, but that Larry Grayson is a pouf, and he's a lovely man. I'd happily have him home for tea. The vicar just can't be right about him.". Larry was the visible, and lovable, face of gay men to lots of people, and that benefited everyone - but especially the gay men who couldn't be open about it because they'd be fired or face other ostracism. Larry made the world safer and more open for all gay men in Britain, just by being the fabulous, good-hearted entertainer that he was.

I could care less if he was gay. He was a fantastic entertainer, and by all accounts a nice man to know, unlike the bible thumping homophobes, who should be boiled in oil.
