The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

211 - Barry Cryer

For more than 50 years Barry Cryer OBE has been a lynchpin of British comedy. Having written for Morecambe &amp; Wise, Tommy Cooper, The Frost Report and Kenny Everett, he still performs in "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" and will be appearing live once again at the year's Edinburgh Festival. We discuss joke structure, word choice and rapport, and Stu achieves a life-long ambition by telling Barry the "Beekeepers" joke.  Get ad-free new episodes, bonus content from interviews and much more by joining the Insiders Club at <a href="https://create.acast.com/episodes/2cd90fdc-5e08-4d4c-9009-e81b63e05618/www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders" target="_blank">www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders</a> <a href="https://create.acast.com/episodes/2cd90fdc-5e08-4d4c-9009-e81b63e05618/www.twitter.com/comcompod" target="_blank">@ComComPod</a> | <a href="https://create.acast.com/episodes/2cd90fdc-5e08-4d4c-9009-e81b63e05618/www.comedianscomedian.com" target="_blank">www.comedianscomedian.com</a> Hosted on Acast.
