A ‘real’ gig at last! Barry Cryer did his ‘Strictly Come Joking’ at the Bath Comedy Festival on Saturday 19th September to a socially-distanced audience of 60 or so in the Widcombe Social Club, which normally holds 180. They were very responsive and Barry was on excellent form, still giving full value and leaving them wanting more. He did a half-hour Q & A afterwards in which I encouraged him to do some of his impersonations – he does a fine Ken Dodd, Tommy Cooper and others. A really enjoyable show from both sides of the footlights. A pity there are no more Cryer dates in the diary…
