Died alone and in debt in an apartment in Spain, what a tragic end for this unique talent. He was huge in the UK during the 70's and 80's: laugh out loud funny, completely unpredictable on stage and a great singing voice as well.
And well into the 90's I have very fond memories of watching him on the Tele during the the early and mid 90's WELL into reruns into the early 00's. Well missed and sadly tared with the same brush as saville. Even though saville was a dirty nonce, Freddie starr wasn't.
Absolute genius. Reminds me of the good days when tv was at its best. 25 million viewers not the 2.5 million TV gets now. The rubbish, glory hunting love island big brother etc etc crap we have now is embarrassing. These two together were Absolute gold. Rip lads.
i agree with you...todays stuff is a boreing as a two hour sunak debate...this would not be allowed now...why?.....because the jobsworths will only let broadcast....if you say the "F" word or anything connected with American culture....god help us
How many people can honestly remember the last time any one on tele made them laugh as much these 2 together was just class we've got a very unhappy future ahead. RIP❤️🙏
Can you imagine these two entertaining God in heaven, the whole place must be in an uproar. Rip to you both. Best wishes to both families ❣️. The world is poorer without them
@@jasonandlynnechambers3420 I was talking about, Dez O'Conner and Freddy star. Both incredible comedians in there own right, but put them together and you have complete mayhem.. I was imagining them in heaven entertaining God and the angel's.
Freddie was like Spike Milligan, so unpredictable. You could tell he inspired nervousness in those surrounding him because you never knew what he would do next! 😁
@@englishteacher2641 i agree - im 44 now and even as a kid i found Freddie Starr so predictable - yet they called him unpredictable when its obvious that all he ever did was try and cause a riot (cheap gags)...that said R.I.P Des - legend
Two entertainers who had a completely different style but had great respect for each other and actively bounced off each other. We have all seen the friendships that shouldn't work but do. I.e: the sensible person is best mates with a crazy person.😂
Force of nature is an understatement for Freddie. He was a brilliant physical comedian, as well as verbal. His sketches where he tried to sing with a 'faulty' mike always have me in stitches. And yet, at no time, ever, was he nasty or patronising to either his host or audience. Some of today's 'comedians' should take note....
Freddie Starr was unique. There is and was only one man who could do many different things and was naturally funny. He didn't deserve an awful last few years. Shame. Love and miss you Freddie. Always. Xxxxx
2 greats both gone people must have been frightened to work with Freddie even he didn't know what he might do, and Des what a real gent, he was nearly always ready to laugh.
Awwww... It feels like it was last week this ... Miss these guys.. Two Ronnie's Morecambe and Wise, Cannon And Ball and Little And Large I loved the 80s
Poor Freddie, he certainly was a funny guy, my wife and I seen a show of his in Edinburgh’s Playhouse Theatre, it was hilarious, before his troubles became public. RIP Freddie. 🙏👍🏴
Freddy only had to look at the camera to crack me up. Unhinged and unpredictable, you never knew or could predict what he he was going to say or do next. People in the audience were very nervous because of this, but it’s what made him so hugely popular.
These so called comedians of today ought to watch ppl like Freddie REAL comedians who know how to make p laugh sadly the snowflakes have arrived boring as s@@@
Dear Freddie. I thought of a act he could of done at the Palladium. Sitting on a stool with a guitar, singing 'Your LOve Takes Me Higher' and the stool slowly rising up to a height.
Hounded by the media to the point of no return Freddie Starr uspset a lot of celebrity's and fellow entertainers during his career.all due to his wild antics.but he was a complete comedy genius the likes of which we will never see again.why is there no statue or plaque to celebrate his life.because he was as I said hounded to death by the press and police in operation yew tree.found not guilty of the charges against him.and allowed to die alone
@@victaylor1 oh really? Seen anything as funny as this in the last 20 years with sh*thouse 'comedians' like Jo Brand and Romesh Ranganathan have you??? 🙄🤦🏻♂️
My Mum and Uncle knew Freddie WAY before he was famous! My Uncle played lead guitar in the group Freddie Starr and the Midnighters in Merseyside. He was very poor back then. Always used to ask them for "thripence". Freddie never got in touch with my Uncle. Not a nice man.

Heartbreaking end to a brilliant performer comedian..

Well missed and sadly tared with the same brush as saville.
Even though saville was a dirty nonce, Freddie starr wasn't.
Someone said that the allegations he faced ruined him completely. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
A British funeral director paid to have his body brought back to the U.K from spain
Because the left hate people like freddy and tarnish them . he is an English legend and should be regarded as one
The Man was a Legend...Rest in Peace Freddie...your legacy lives on...Thanks for all the Tearful laughs you gave me and many others...
Absolute genius. Reminds me of the good days when tv was at its best. 25 million viewers not the 2.5 million TV gets now. The rubbish, glory hunting love island big brother etc etc crap we have now is embarrassing. These two together were Absolute gold. Rip lads.
Agreed good old days never see the likes again
So well said 👏
Wtf is genius about that? He's shite and got away with murder. Nothing clever or funny about it.
i agree with you...todays stuff is a boreing as a two hour sunak debate...this would not be allowed now...why?.....because the jobsworths will only let broadcast....if you say the "F" word or anything connected with American culture....god help us
As a kid in the 70s l always loved when Freddie was on show like this. He was so dangerous, you never knew what he was going to do next.
Yea like throwing maggots at a celebrity audience 🤩
@@denise4487 it was rice!
@@jodeldk to be fair im blind it couldve been maggots 😂
Absolutely solid gold entertainment....true greats that always made me laugh out loud.....RIP ...Des and Freddie
How many people can honestly remember the last time any one on tele made them laugh as much these 2 together was just class we've got a very unhappy future ahead. RIP❤️🙏
I remember watching this with my dad crying with laughter. God bless him 👍🏻
Freddie star was the business won’t see the like of him on tv again RIP Fred you still make me crack up
Legends. Grew up with these and still funny. RIP.
I forgot how much this made me laugh and how good laughing makes you feel.
Great 👍 together these two! This is when tv 📺 was entertaining.
IN A NUTSHELL
Not just a great comedian but also a bloody gymnast! 🤣🤣🤣
looks like he had pro wrestling skills as well
Both gone. RIP Des and Freddie
Both gone rip des and freddie
Gone but left many great memories
I remember seeing this on tv first time around. Saw him live and my cheeks ached through laughing so much.
Great entertainers Des and Freddie RIP to two legends
Can you imagine these two entertaining God in heaven, the whole place must be in an uproar. Rip to you both. Best wishes to both families ❣️. The world is poorer without them
What?
@@jasonandlynnechambers3420 I was talking about, Dez O'Conner and Freddy star. Both incredible comedians in there own right, but put them together and you have complete mayhem.. I was imagining them in heaven entertaining God and the angel's.
Loved when Freddie would show up on Des OConner's show...he'd wreck the kip 🤣🤣🤣
RIP Des and Freddie
this guy was so funny what a shame what they put him though need more like Freddie RIP mate
The Great Freddie Star. Rare talent 👍👍👍👍👍
This was when Freddie was at his height! Luney humour loved him, he was one of my favourites, Des was a good sport! 😂
I was born in 19 62 miss all the bad wars but see all the best comedies lovely music as well happy days 👍
That flip 😂😂 Jesus almost broke his Neck🤣🤣
Freddie was like Spike Milligan, so unpredictable. You could tell he inspired nervousness in those surrounding him because you never knew what he would do next! 😁
… Rod Hull too with that bird! 🐦 😂😂
The funniest man ever, don't get humour like this any more, in fact not much humour at all.Wish I could turn the clock back.🤣🤣😂👏
He was as funny as Herpes.
W
How does this pass for humour? It is not funny in the slightest. It is just a man making a fool of himself.where are the jokes?
@@englishteacher2641 i agree - im 44 now and even as a kid i found Freddie Starr so predictable - yet they called him unpredictable when its obvious that all he ever did was try and cause a riot (cheap gags)...that said R.I.P Des - legend
So right thank God for utube. 🤗
Freddie was amazing I do miss him
Comedians will never in this day and age make us laugh like the likes of this man .
It's disgraceful what they did to this man, ruined his career. There will never be another like him.
Absolutely.
Innocent.
And tortured.
Two entertainers who had a completely different style but had great respect for each other and actively bounced off each other.
We have all seen the friendships that shouldn't work but do. I.e: the sensible person is best mates with a crazy person.😂
Loved grown up watching him and Des bounce off each other they were hilarious together
Amazing,, geweldige performance 👍
Fantastic comedian, loved him!!!
Him and Des where the best together.I dont know how Des managed to get through a show with him there.
It's like a poor man's Kaufman and Letterman
This is great, won't see anything like this these days :(
Brilliant Entertainer Elvis to a T voice & actions very sad death glad we can still go back and watch bits of his Entertainment

Absolutely brilliant!! 🤣 Where have all the stars gone?
Still makes me cry of laughter jst so sad what media put him threw rip to a legend
Wonderful
Most underrated comedian of all time, all of the considered best in Britain take a bit of him.
Freddie Starr was unique.
There is and was only one man who could do many different things and was naturally funny.
He didn't deserve an awful last few years.
Shame.
Love and miss you Freddie.
Always. Xxxxx
2 greats both gone people must have been frightened to work with Freddie even he didn't know what he might do, and Des what a real gent, he was nearly always ready to laugh.
He was so funny and talented. Would have loved to have seen him live.
absolutely funny funny man. wish he was still here
Both great to watch on the tele 👍🏻
Brilliant hope they are together still cracking jokes up in heaven.
If your down and depressed just watch Freddie star that’s the best cure for you
Man, these two were dynamite together.
One of the best double acts of all times
Freddy was amazing ! RIP my man !!
What a routine makes me laugh out loud.
Growing up as a child watching him absolutely hilarious no comedians apart from Lee Evans can top him true legend jst sad how it ended for him 😢
ive always hoped des was supportive of freddie during the last years of freddies life.freddie was so funny and great on his show.

R.i.p.dear des truly will be missed.......💫♥️♥️♥️✌

How many times he was on Des O'Connor show and did the same routine.
So funny he was great at making us all laugh❤
Crazy man RIP
Mad as a box of frogs Freddie
Now this is completely brilliant now a days they call it sexual abuse what’s went wrong with the world shocking
Don't care....I'm crying laughing!
These so called comedians of today ought to watch ppl like Freddie REAL comedians who know how to make p laugh sadly the snowflakes have arrived boring as s@@@
One word god bless
brilliant comedy, great sketches
Such a funny funny man 😂😂
Freddie just brilliant thanks rip
The old school comedians were another level 😅😅😅
Real entertainers God bless and keep them both.
The Great Old Days Now Gone /Cos all Snowflakes Etc Etc have Killed our way of FUN ?
Only because we allowed them
Ciaran Mccormack yep the country should have spoken up ..
This type of humour still exists Peter. Snowflakes haven't taken away anything tasteful. Maybe you're a bit of a snowflake yourself lol
You call this fun? Where's the comedy?
Dear Freddie. I thought of a act he could of done at the Palladium. Sitting on a stool with a guitar, singing 'Your LOve Takes Me Higher' and the stool slowly rising up to a height.
RIP Des 😔
Des spent most of his time flinching when ever Freddie was around 😊
Legends , miss those times 😢
Back in the day when jokes were meant to be laughed at and not to be taken literally. Offended? Tough, grow a thicker skin.
freddy and des were wicked together and still make me laugh and im 62 and seen it all before
The best brilliant
Now this is class,
The Best of Entertainment****RIP

would not be allowed today because might upset the lefties
Dont talk shit. I'm a leftie and love Freddie Starr.
@@victaylor1 oh really? Seen anything as funny as this in the last 20 years with sh*thouse 'comedians' like Jo Brand and Romesh Ranganathan have you??? 🙄🤦🏻♂️
He looks like an early Stavross Flatley 🤣🤣
RIP Des O Connor
My Mum and Uncle knew Freddie WAY before he was famous! My Uncle played lead guitar in the group Freddie Starr and the Midnighters in Merseyside. He was very poor back then. Always used to ask them for "thripence". Freddie never got in touch with my Uncle. Not a nice man.
Freddy showed his true colours later in life ,a true obnoxious prick.
Says who?
Sorry to hear this.
Wonder what the whole story was.
Perhaps they had a big argument.
Shame.
So cute how dey wer so gay for eachother 💜 two legends
Classic
RIP des top man
Who was the person that accused him of abause
An amazing talent. A one off.
Him and joe Wilkinson would be a great sketch show double act
So funny I loved him
