Bob Cryer – Barry Cryer: Same Time Tomorrow? - Part of Derby Book Festival: Autumn Edition

Description

When the legendary comedian Barry Cryer died in January 2022, there was a vast outpouring of grief, appreciation and anecdotes.  Now his son, Bob, is doing what Barry’s humility did not allow: revealing the story of the man behind the jokes.

Covering Barry’s 50-year career, from the music halls of the 1950s, via working alongside everyone from Morecambe & Wise to Kenny Everett and David Frost, and, more recently, as a stalwart of Radio 4’s I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, Bob provides a wonderfully witty and affectionate biography of a father by a son – and a heartwarming insight into a vanishing era of comedy.
