Re: Norman Wisdom
Brilliantly talented man. I could watch him for hours, his comic timing was superb and his life story fascinating. Sad loss indeed.
I tried to make him laugh, He didn't get the joke, and then he said I wasn't right in the head.

Genius is used too lightly these days but Norman certainly fitted the bill.
I just heard on the radio that when he was young, he walked from London to Cardiff (about 120 miles) so he could get on a boat to Argentina!!!

Re: Norman Wisdom
Forget all the modern comedians this man could make anyone laugh.
What ever age or what ever country.
No racism no politcal agenda no hidden message just funny comedy.
Very very funny man.

Re: Norman Wisdom
Yet another of the BBC2 Saturday Afternoon / Bank Holiday Movie Stars to move on. I will have a beer in the pub tonight and a wee smile in his memory.

Re: Norman Wisdom
A mate of mine just said to me, "Get ready for a load
of Norman Wisdom jokes"
"Thank fuck for that," I replied, "I've been waiting for
him to make me laugh since the 1950's".

I'm a comedian and poet, so anything that doesn't get a laugh is a poem. B.Hicks.

Re: Norman Wisdom
I thought Norman was a great frontman for the Stranglers from 1990 to 2006. Oh sorry that was someone else!
