The BBC has just reported the sad news that the very great Frank Carson has died aged 85

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17046201" target="_blank

I confess I stole half my wedding speech from his video's. It was a very different style from todays comics but he was excellent and I loved him.

I went into a pet shop and said "can I have a wasp please", the shopkeeper said, "we don't sell wasps you idiot, I said "well there's one in the window"
It's the way he told em

GOODNIGHT FRANK

Setup and punch. That's how it's done.

RIP to a comedy machine.

Caught him live in Belfast a few years ago. Glad I did. A funny guy.

Frank is one of my comedy heroes, he made me laugh much more than any other comic.

God bless to you & your family Frank.
You will be sadly missed.

A legend from the days when comedians were funny without swearing

Always watched this man on the telly, when I was a youngster. Its a cracker!!! :lol:

I think he belonged to that rare group of comedians who'se presence alone made us laugh; before they even did/said anything.
Tommy Cooper was the same.

RIP.

My earliest memories of Frank were him appearing on Tiswas and The Comedians. It really was the way he told them; you wanted to laugh along with him.

That is very sad

fellow comedian, Ken Goodwin died 4 days earlier.
I wasnt a massive fan of Goodwin myself, but his catchphrase " settle down now, settle down".. was a classic.
And i always remember him laughing at his jokes, so hard he couldnt get the punch line out. And you laughed too.
