I remember watching this with my late grandmother back in 1994, it was sad to see Larry looking so ill but his humour was never up for question. It came as a total shock when he passed away not long after this was shown on TV.
This was taken from a vhs recording I took so for something that was recorded 27 years ago I was pleased at how well it turned out.
DISCLAIMER........ I do not own the rights to this show that was shown on TV in the UK.

I hope wherever he is, he can read these comments and realise how loved he was and still is. ❤

It's better than anything shown today and classed as entertainment.

I find myself blessed to be 59, and to have come up through my years watching so many of our great British comedians and entertainers in the 60's, 70's and 80's, many of whom we will never see their like again, just brilliant. RIP Larry x

He died just 4 weeks later. A lovely chap. This last performance was so good. His act didn’t age, the asides are still so funny. God bless him.

Larry was the total professional to the end. Total gentle genius. Sadly missed. Love and peace.

What an amazing guy, Total class, incredibly funny, and talented beyond belief. We don't have anyone like him these days I'm afraid, which is why I don't watch TV anymore.

@zagozago9893 8 месяцев назад

He always came across as a very kind fellow. Indeed, he seemed like a nice boy.

A great performer to the end, yes to the end, this, his last performance was fine and touching at the end. R.I.P. Larry.

It's almost as if he knew it was his last performance RIP Larry

@user-fy8ir8jp9k 14 часов назад

Yes l agree, l think Larry was aware it could be his last time. Even till the end his comic timing was spot on, and he had the audience right where he always had them. Just watched his " This is your life from 72, what a lovely humble man. Worked so hard, and really deserved every minute of his fame. I'm 62 and Larry was always a big hero of mine. R.I.P. Larry, thanks for the laughs x

I watched the story of his career recently and they referenced this performance as LG fading, what a lie, the man was still on point and funny as ever RIEP LG

@nkt1 Год назад

I just watched that too and, sadly, I have to agree with them. His timing isn't as sharp, and that was a big part of his act.

When you can walk onto a stage without saying a word and the audience go wild. Youre a true star.

@kevinmassey7675 2 года назад

He used to drink in many of the clubs of Nuneaton and entertain everyone on his nights off.......not an inkling of "I'm famous"..... never heard anyone with a bad word about the guy....... and never any of the miners , foundry workers, brickies or the Coventry car factory workers ever taking exception to his entertainment

@ianpeddle6818 Год назад

NEVER forgot his roots for one moment he knew that his comedy came from the working classes

@leslielees5438 Год назад

I am from Nuneaton too and the older people used to remember him as Billy Bream at the Bermuda Working Men’s Club and loved him. I grew up in Bermuda Village

@camptube7621 11 месяцев назад

I've watched many videos of Larry on YT and read through the comments, and no-one has had a bad word to say about him. Sad that this was his last performance. RIP Larry.

@andynightingale7335 Месяц назад

I'm sure as he's coming off (oo-er) stage it dawns on him that it's probably his last time in front of an audience. God Bless you Larry. You were so loved. A gentle, funny soul. RIP.

TV at its very best. The 1970’s & 80’s. So sick of what they class as great TV these days. Ant and Dec and the love island drivel

@Mark_T Год назад

I think this is quite a sad performance. He has clearly lost much of his powers here. A result of being out of the game for so long. Wonderful character 'though and God bless him.

@stevebbuk9557 9 месяцев назад

I think people willed him to succeed, even if he wasn't as polished as before. He bucked the trend in an age when life was faster, expectations became higher and the patience threshold became less. A genuine man, whose comedy came from his life experiences, non-threatening: a unique individual. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_lotGzFaRbY.html

I’d give anything to happen upon a time-slip, finding myself back in the days before the lunacy we’re now dealing with - 1960/70/80s please take me back, let me get stuck there, when comedy was truly funny, before the perma-offended took over our entire lives. Larry Grayson was the best, the older I get, the more I miss him…❤
