Now you understand why the audience starts laughing as soon as he come on stage. Before he even said a word, everybody crapping themselves and laughing nervously about what he was going to do 😂😂

Spent my growing up years watching this guy... absoutely hilarious, whatever show he was on would just be chaos... 70s and 80s in the UK was a fine time for comedy and this guy was the top end

I used to live down the road from Freddie, we drank in the same pub. Lovely guy on and off stage. He has an amazing singing voice, and he sang with The Jordanaires.

Freddie was so unpredictable, sometimes even he didn't know what he was going to do next

I was lucky enough to see this legend live rip freddie i luv you two lol

I took my family to see Freddie live and the whole audience was laughing non stop for an hour or more :)

If you look carefully .Freddie takes rice from a different section. And not from Where the maggots were .

Miss the man , knew him in real life , rip freddie never forgotten

In the second sketch about 6 minutes in, that was from a show called "An Audience with Freddie Starr". The live audience of that show is made up of celebrities. Many of our comedians have done 'An Audience With' including Billy Connolly, and so many more. including American comedians. It ran for years! 😂😂🤣 Sheila Ferguson was the lead singer of American band The Three Degrees. None of the celeb audience are part of the show, and they all dread getting picked on, because you never know what Freddie will do! 🤣 Gareth was one of the 3 lead actors in 'The New Avengers' along with Patrick Macnee and Joanna Lumley.

There was a glass container with rice in the middle of the maggot container. He only threw rice into the audience.

I once dated a girl who was a natural redhead. I missed her so much I started dying my tooth floss orange.

I think 0:39 left me afraid to sleep tonight in case I relive this moment and wake up screaming in a cold sweat.

I loved Freddie. Great to see your reactions.

He sat on Clare Rayner's lap, sat beside her husband. Their son Jay Rayner is a popular restaurant critic in the the media.

One of the greatest ever funny guys.

Freddie was outrageous, a nutcase, yes he did throw them maggots at Faith Brown female impersonator and comedian, it was a Celebrity Audience with Freddie Starr.

I am so glad you enjoyed this as much as I did brad laughing so hard made me laugh harder lol thanks guys hope you are well

Just watched the video and realised that's my theatre - I've been technical manager there since the early 90s, and we had Freddie Starr many times - but I'd forgotten that shows till now!

freddie made his audience nervous but it was all done with jest no malice and the audience loved him he gave us belly laughs , thats why the 70s generation like myself grew up happy and not on anti depressants

his ray charles skit is hilarious but certainly wouldnt fly today

Went see him in Great Yarmouth in 85..... Bloody terrifying

Freddie was the first Crazy Mad,, Funny Comedian, think before Kenny Everett, who was equally Original. Paul Hogan was a Treat, at the time.

5:46 Keith Chegwin (RIP) he was my cousin.

The audience in some of these clips were celebrities.. they had specials on television an audience with... & all celebrities were in the audience watching stars x

His “ Vincent” routine where he struts up and down the stage at the same speed as a faulty backing tape literally made me pee myself a little , not proud of that but it’s a fact , it was THAT funny 😅 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The maggots were actually rice but the effect is still great.

Hahahaha, I forgot how mad Freddie was.

good evening you too carnt beata an audience with freddie star very funny man Mark class 🤣🤣🤣 enjoiy few beers to nyt hehehe ;)

Love you guys 😂😂😂😂😂

Try Freddie juggling barbed wire, or his impression of Ray Charles. ❤

a funny man that anything could happen in his show.a few celebrity’s of the time in this video a few also that have passed away.

Freddie Starr ate my hamster If you know, you know 🐹

When he is live the audience shits themselves when he comes amongst them.

You need to watch his 'audience with Freddie Star'. Its a celebrity audience. Some of the clips were in this. The whole show is hilarious 😂

I've spent time, dodging this video; because Freddie Starr was part of the Jimmy Savile culture. He was certainly tied up in it; but who knows what happened!!! ...??? He was accused; but insufficient evidence meant he walked away. Who knows what happened in those years! There are many "stars" of the time who are in prison now; and more who are suspected. A great comedian, of his time; but who truly knows what happened? Only Jimmy Savile; and his cohort; and the victims.

Good morning (here anyway ) 👍hope you're both well, nothing like an intro about man boobs to get your day started🤣Freddie was just like you two, he also gave zero fks🤣 that was a damn good laugh, thank you ✌️🍻

Have you seen Freddie Starr doing Ray Charles 😂

Hi Brad and Lucy,you two make me piss myself laughing,IAN from England

The maggot bit was real but wasnt ment to be. The container had rice inside he was ment to scoop the rice up 😂😂😂😂

His Hitler sketches are the best

I fuckin love freddie starr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤

I was at one of his shows i think around '84 or ' 85 ish, (but memory not great) i was a young teen, it was at the White Rock, Hastings, England, and i really don't think I've experienced so much anxiety since 😅, we were second or third row, crazy crazy man 😂🤣

A complete one off was Freddie. Maybe not very PC in todays terms but very funny.

Yes he throw real maggets, loved him growing up. Lmao😅 just reading down, rice, well for all the years i thought it was magnets lmao more fool me😅 i also remember being a kid falling of my chair laughing

Freddie was a very funny guy. Some people did not like his style of comedy. xx

You have to watch freddie with the Jordaniers, Elvis backing singers

The second video is a celebrity audience, made up of actors, comedians, presenters, celebrities, etc.

Did really throw them maggots? Shit that was one of the nicer things he had thrown at them, and no they didn't know and aren't in on it, he was really crazy not acting but really bat shit crazy and didn't care about how famous you were he would treat them all the same, You'll never see anything like him again ever, the world has made sure to get rid of all the real funny people,

Next t watch is freddie with Shirley bassey

i used to put maggots in my mouth to warm them up so they wiggled more in the cold water

😂🤣👍

youre turn lmao

Do you guys intend to waffle on right through the video

you had aclip from an audiece with you should watch this show if you really want to laugh

we could laugh at our selves back in the 70s and 80s even the 90s but now the snow flakes just dont get it and have had a comedy by pass ,and spoiling it for others
