Re: Freddy Starr dead ?
Its a little curious that a lot of media outlets are saying "Freddie Starr reported dead" rather than "Freddie Starr is dead"
Its almost as if they don't trust Starr not to turn up alive having hoaxed them all

Re: Freddy Starr dead ?
I saw Freddie Starr at the Circus Tavern as part of my 18th birthday, my dad got a front row table and he was very funny. His humour would not be tolerated today, back then though he was hilarious.

Re: Freddy Starr dead ?
Can't remember thinking that anything he did was remotely funny and he didn't come across as a particularly pleasant person. But a lot of people seem to like him. Just as well we're not all the same I suppose

Yup. Some of us have a sense of humour. The guy was very talented, did some really clever stuff and was funny. Watch YouTube clips. Impossible not to laugh.
