THERE are comedy greats – and then there is Barry Cryer’s. HE might wear heavy glasses and a jumper more suited for the golf course, but Barry Cryer is a comic legend.

He has written for and worked with all the top comedy names on TV, stage and film for over 50 years.

For five years he was the chairman of Jokers Wild on ITV. He wrote and appeared in Hello Cheeky with Tim Brooke-Taylor and John Junkin on both radio and television. He wrote and appeared in What’s On Next and The Steam Video Company for Thames TV and also appeared in All Star Secrets for LWT and I’ve Got A Secret, for BBC. He hosted a series of Cross-Wits for Tyne Tees Television and was the host for the BBC’s Music Match. 1992 Barry made a guest appearance as Sergeant Sammy Simpson in The Detectives alongside Jasper Carrot and Robert Powell.

Now, Barry is heading to The McMillan Theatre with his own show, Strictly Come Joking.

Barry will be joined by Colin Sell, the pianist from classic radio panel games such as Whose Line Is It Anyway? and I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue.

Barry and Colin have been called the Ant and Dec of the Sanatogen set, and they have reunited with a new show where they will entertain with songs, jokes and the amazing realisation that they’re still here.

The McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater, Saturday, October 22 at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £20 and can be purchased online or from the box office in person, or by phone, Monday - Friday, 10am - 2pm, 01278 556677.
