What to expect
Foreword by Sandi Toksvig | WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF 2023: ENTERTAINMENT
'Give this book to everyone you know – NOW!' Miriam Margolyes
'This is a joyous, uplifting book' Observer
'He was so funny and such fun and here he is again in all his rib-tickling glory' Gyles Brandreth
‘I don’t know how long I’ve got left … I don’t even buy green bananas anymore’
When the legendary comedian Barry Cryer died in January 2022, there was a vast outpouring of grief, appreciation and anecdotes – from the general public and fellow comics alike. Now, his son, Bob, is doing what Barry’s humility did not allow: revealing the story of the man behind the jokes.
This book is an ode both to Barry’s incredible life and to the lessons he so generously imparted on the art of comedy during his sixty-year career. Stretching from the music halls of the fifties, via working alongside everyone from Morecambe and Wise to Kenny Everett and David Frost, and into more recent times as a stalwart of Radio 4’s long-running I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, where he worked with Rob Brydon and David Mitchell among many others, this book is a hugely entertaining insight into the life of a true comedy legend. Bob also shares a range of exclusive material unique to the Cryer family – including family photos, memorabilia, oral recordings, interviews with friends and colleagues (among them Michael Palin and Eric Idle) – as well as Bob’s own personal reflections on living and working with a comedy icon.
Laced with candour, warmth and filled with his trademark humour, Barry Cryer: Same Time Tomorrow? is not just a wonderfully witty and affectionate biography of a father by a son, but a heartwarming insight into a vanishing era of comedy.
Critics Review
Give this book to everyone you know – NOW!
Barry will always be remembered for bringing so much fun, so much pleasure and so much laughter into my life
The wonderful Barry Cryer
I’m insanely happy that the life of jokester Barry Cryer is to be lovingly detailed by his son
If you miss him like I miss him, you’ll want this book . . . he was so funny and such fun and here he is again in all his rib-tickling glory
This is a joyous, uplifting book . . . The late comedian’s son, Bob Cryer, offers an intimate and astute portrait of his father’s skill and wit, and the vulnerability beneath
This affectionate biography details the ups and downs in the life of this most lovable of entertainers . . . His love of jokes shines through the book, which includes plenty of his best ones. It’s a joy of a book and Barry’s wit and generosity of nature positively leap from the pages
Captures [Barry’s] comic persona perfectly and is a fine tribute
Who doesn’t love Barry Cryer, who died in 2022, is a rhetorical question worth pondering, as this touching, funny memoir by his son manages to make him even more loveable. It’s a lovely blend of personal and professional
