Sad news.  Yes he was certainly a Marmite character but I thought he was a brilliantly funny comedian despite whatever flaws in his off-stage life. I recall seeing him on The Comedians and preferring him to many of the other stand-ups, some of which I thought shouldn't even have bothered appearing. Annie and I saw Freddie Starr's live stage show at Blazers in Windsor on two occasions back in the 80's and were in hysterics each time. R.I.P. Freddie |

Very sad news...
He was HUGE yet, in my opinion could have been even huger (his role in The Squeeze shows us he could have been a great film star)!!!
It was his zany, carefree madness that probably cost him dearly in later years as I fear nobody could ever trust that what he said or did was real...
Anyhow, whatever way you flip it this is a very sad loss!
RIP Freddie, all the hamsters are safe now...

I was only watching Freddie last night in a clip from a film he made in 1957 'Violent Playground' starring Stanley Baker.
He was a very funny guy in his prime.
RIP Freddie.

Yes, he was funny when he was at his best. Pity he slid into obscurity.
RIP Freddie

RIP Freddie, I well remember his madcap antics on his comedy shows which creased me up as a teenager. Shame things went a bit melancholy for him towards the end. I agree his role in The Squeeze showed there was more to him than comedy.
