A stream of unconsciousness and sit down comedy!
Join old Baz on an alphabetical, hypothetical journey from A to Z. Have you noticed that all the letters in the alphabet are in the right order?
A stream of unconsciousness and sit down comedy, come with him as he embarks on an odyssey of oddities from Aardvark to Zulu
Flabbergasted means appalled at how much weight you've gained! For the first time, he can claim to be a man of letters, even including X. Bear with him – or Winnie the Pooh and Tigger as they were known.
One of the country's greatest comic writers, Barry has appeared in TV and radio shows spanning four decades.
He has written gags for some of the true legends of comedy, including:
Morecambe and Wise
Tommy Cooper
Stanley Baxter
Dick Emery
Dave Allen
Les Dawson
Bob Hope
George Burns
The Two Ronnies
Kenny Everett
Sir Harry Secombe
Billy Connolly
Jasper Carrott
