Barry Cryer was on very good form when I visited him in hospital today. They’ve given him a frame and he’s having intermittent physio, but there’s understandably no way of knowing yet how long he’ll be recovering. We have a date at the Bristol Slapstick Festival on Sunday 20th January, but it’s impossible to know if he’ll be able to do it. Frankly, on today’s showing, I’d say even wheeling him on stage in a bed would be fine. He’d still crack the gags and tell the stories splendidly.
