Barry was a pillar of the Bristol Slapstick Festival and at the end of March they created a weekend of celebration of his life and work.
I was part of an afternoon’s conversation and reminiscence at the Redgrave Theatre in Clifton. Hosted by Les Dennis, the panel was Barry’s son Bob Cryer, Graeme Garden and myself. We paid tribute to Barry, spending over an hour just chatting about the great man. Many chums also contributed video reminiscences. The big celebration for him will be on 13th June at the Lyric, Shaftesbury Avenue.
The next series of Clue will happen over May, June and July, and the good news is that Graeme Garden is returning to do a couple of the shows. We’re recording at the Royal Albert Hall, Malvern and Nottingham.
