Havent seen this lady in years but boy,did she make me laugh this morning.She has a wonderful talent for putting pictures in your mind. She tells tales ,a bit like Billy Conolly without the added language.Marvelous.👏👏👏👏👏👏💐💐

Pam Ayres is a genuine gem. Bless her, all those laughs and no foul language. Good on you Pam.

Pam Ayres should be a Dame. She is so funny and she remains totally relateable because she talks our language.

Pam Ayers is one of the funniest female comedians of all time.

4:47 I love the two ladies incapacitated in tears of laughter. What a gift Pam has.

What a delightful comedienne. No obscenity, down to earth and riotously funny .

I love this woman.she is brilliant.more please.

We love Pam because she speaks our language. Bless her. She should be on TV more.

I love this woman. How refreshing to hear someone going a 'stand-up' routine without profanity every second word! Her poems are equally good and very funny. Most other comedians' routine would be half as long if they omitted the vulgarity. Well done Mrs. Ayres! Please keep your stories coming.

Her delivery of her stories... and of her poems is so delightful.

The brilliant Pam Ayres....❤

Pam is an amazing talent and has an amazing way with words

Nine years old, Gyllingvase Beach , Falmouth.......went into sea wearing trunks of wool.....came out wearing sod all.....Good ole Mum!!!!

This brings back memories. My mother knitted me a swimming costume when I was about 6/7. Had exactly the same problems. She is a true lovely lady.

One of the funniest and best story tellers ever!

Sounds like quite a few families were the butt of The Women's Weekly's sense of humour. I saw her perform in Hobart, Tasmania when she toured there. I was amazed at her ability to remember her stories as well as poems for over an hour. I hadn't realised she was such a gifted raconteur. This was maybe about 2009. I never heard about this swim suit though.

She is just adorable and one of the funniest ladies ever. Bless her.

She is amazing. Good clean fun. Should be more comedians like her

OMG Laugh, I nearly cried. I feel for Pam's dad as my mum knitted my swimming trunks from maroon wool. No doubt from the Woman's Weekly. I hated school swimming lessons.

Please tell me on 3 January 2019 that this gift of God, Ms. Pam Ayers is still with us! Anyone who listens to her will be cured of all that ails! What a wit!

Glad I came across these clips of Pam 👍🏻😍

So good as usual Pam thanks. Moxx

This is the funniest thing I have heard for a long time. We'll done Pam.

She's so funny brings back memories from years ago so funny

The older ladies in the audience know exactly what she is talking about. You can see it in the way they laugh.

Brilliant 😃 Cheeky pauses and the smile....a whole hilarious package

Lovely. Thank you.

A true national treasure

I made the mistake of watching this over breakfast. I nearly choked to death!

Great smile..great words..hilarious

My mum knitted me one of those when I was a toddler; it's a miracle I didn't drown in the shallows at Blackpool. It ended up on my teddy bear, named Big Ted who never, ever went swimming.

I am now again crying with laughter.

This is fantastic!! 😂✨

Brilliant. My Auntie once wore a knitted swimming costume, when she came out of the water not much was covered due to the weight of the water on the wool. 🤣

watched this already 15 times including today !

I love Pan ayres she makes me laugh x

Wonderful! Just wonderful!

I so remember those knitted swimming trunks, my own fathers was Maroon😅

Good clean humour.

Pam you are a pure delight

I remember this story when we went to her show in kent .

Laughing so hard I'm crying!😂😂😂

Hi PAM LOVE YOUR POEMS also nice to hear your Dad was like me a Grenadier Guard stay safe

God bless you Pam

I remember the first poem I heard her say called:- curlers. I hope I can find it here! She is hilarious! Oh, I have it now! Thanks to David S. 🙏🏻

A complete original never to be copied.

So funny her timing is brilliant

I've been in ireland for a long time...I've forgotten a about her...wonderful humour.

What a treat to hear real humour, funny and clen 😂😊

Love this woman....😘

ABSOLUTE GENIUS!!!

😅 I remember my Dads woolen trunks. Same problem. Even worse when they got the moth over winter and only discovered the first time he went for a swim.

oh so very funny I love her have done for years

I love her crooked smile.... So cute!

She is utterly delightful.

Absolutely hilarious.. My husband is a swimmer and I dabble with knitting... How I wish I could lay my hands on that knitting pattern;)

As a small child in the 50's I remember having a pair of knitted swimming trunks in a maroon colour. As she says, they were fine when dry but almost hung down around the knees when wet.

such a way with words! sooo funny.

The 1950s knitted swimsuits are strong in the memory of anybody that endured one. Did Pam exaggerate? Not in the least.

OMG being born in the early ‘50s I totally remember the swim wear ,I myself had a bobbly elastic swimsuit that filled with water and nearly drowned me 😆😂😂😂😂😂😤

Pam your brilliant 🙂

I just discovered you. So glad I did!

Fabulously funny woman...and not a 4 letter word to be heard.

OMG j'ai mal au ventre à force de rire !

Love Pam, Im a class A brat, and she was my early inspration. Live long and prosper. Leona

Remember those costumes, my grandmother knitted them. Only slightly improved on when my dad gave me his ex Royal Navy one.

Not to mention the sand which stuck to the thighs and crutch when as youngsters we made our way home as children . Red raw our thighs were

genitile humour in 2014, how far we have come, and they lap it up.

Born in '47, I had a green one. What a nightmare. Brighton beach was bad enough with trying to walk on those pebbles and then to suffer the indignity and pain in the feet of having to stagger back up with me crutch round me knees and the extra weight of half the English Channel hanging off me skinny little shoulders. They were the days. :-)

What a riot!!!!

That story has a wring to it.

very very funny...never seen her before, will have to look her up

I remember my nana knitting me a swimsuit in the 60s and it sagging to my knees when I came out of the sea,my mum had to do the very same wringing action,oh yes they were the days

elle est comme Dave Allen, on peut presque comprendre même si on ne connait pas l'Anglais !

The wonderful Pam Ayres. Did she buy that Narrowboat

Poor dad! :D MWAAAAAAH!

My gran use to give us knitted swimsuits , I remember it well I was only 6 at the time

She's so funny!

Brilliant

That was wonderful 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A lot of drownings were attributed to whool. Not the easiest link but there it is: death by swimming costume lovingly knitted by a spouse remembering how he complained about a stone in the lentils once too often.

Met her years ago. My favourite was: My mother had a flit gun, it was not devoted of charm. A bit of a flit shot out of it, the rest shot up her arm.

She is so funny.

I have suffered the knitted swimming costume

This is so funny as I remember as a toddler my father’s maroon knitted trunks 😂 also my very itchy knitted swimsuit which really was bad when wet - so true

someone made one for me when I was a little kid. I suffered like her dad LOL

Hilarious!!!!!!

my dad had a knitted swim trunks too!

So funny without being crude. Why can't today's standups manage it?

Oh yes....my mum knitted me one in the 50s....I nearly drowned near Southend pier....must of weighed 20 stone when wet! I actually came out naked..good job I was only 5😑

Ha ha, I was born in the 70,s but I pictured those knitted trunks, even the colour before she described them. My Mum had tales of her own knitted costume and how it sagged. Why did they do this🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

we went to see her many years ago at Portsmouth Guild Hall and my Dad went to school with her her lol

😁Bless Her

My mother used to knit my swimming trunks and the above is painful.

Classic

yes my mum knitted everything lol

Memories of living in Blackpool during the war, We’d take a short cut through the Pleasure Beach .no. Bathing huts around so we’d just pop a dress over. Our still damp swimming costumes'

I remember my mum teling me of 2 ladies who wore knitted swimming costume. Fine when they stayed on the beach but when they got them wet!

Sabotage came to mind. In any case it was hilarious.

Too funny
