Event information
Comedy legend comes to Walthamstow as part of the fantastic Stow Fest
Barry Cryer - gifted, creative, prolific
In 1990 Barry teamed up with old friend, the late Willie Rushton in their own show “Two Old Farts in the Night” which they performed to full houses at the Edinburgh Festival (1992 and 1993), The Brighton Comedy festival (1992) and at various corporate events around the country including the Barbican Centre (to 2,000 employees of the architects Ove Arup), The Royal Albert Hall (for The Metropolitan Police).
In 1994, Barry and Willie toured with the show playing at over 50 theatres around the UK.
The Summer of 1994 saw Barry and Willie returning to the Edinburgh festival with their new show “Farts 2 – The Musical”.
In 1993 Barry also completed a hugely successful tour of his own one-man-show “That Reminds Me”. This show led to a guest appearance on Viva Cabaret, the stand-up comedy show transmitted on Channel 4. 1993 also saw Barry playing Louis Blore / King of France in the Cole Porter musical Du Barry was a Lady at the Barbican.
At the beginning of 1994 Barry hosted 8 shows of Cryer’s Crackers – a new panel game for Yorkshire Television. This was re-commissioned and the second series was transmitted in Autumn 1994 with a third following.
In 1995, Barry joined an illustrious list by becoming a “victim” on This Is Your Life.
Also in 1995 Barry hosted Stand Up, a ten-part series for BBC1 showcasing young comedians. The show was re-commissioned for a second series.
In 1995 the long-running Radio 4 show "I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue" won the Sony Radio Award for Best Comedy Programme and television’s British Comedy Award for Best Radio Programme.
Barry continues his output of live work with his one-man-show The First Farewell Tour and also is now sharing the stage with Ronnie Golden in Unplugged while his prodigious radio work continues a pace.
