Larry Grayson, born August 31, 1923 would have celebrated his 100th birthday today.

Larry was strangely brilliant, wonderfully expressive warm human being. A true one-off comic genius.

Engrossed, was unable to go to bed once I started watching. Forgotten what a talent he was. 🇬🇧✅😂

Look at the muck in ere! Just reading the comments shows the love and affection we all had for Larry. He was one of a kind, never to be seen again. If only we could turn back time to see you once again. Thanks for making me laugh. We love you ❤️

I never realised before how lucky I was to grow up in the 70s That decade was the most colourful funny and innocent decade despite all the strikes power cuts and shortages

Larry was the most underrated and under appreciated entertainer in British television history.

He couldn't dance, he couldn't sing but, he was an entertainer. I loved watching him in the Generation Game... He was fun !! Thank you for posting this.

A genuinely nice guy. No arrogance, no pretence and he didn't need to be vulgar or swear just to get a laugh. Comedians like Larry Grayson are but a distant memory when life seemed simpler and happier. Making people laugh is hard, making people laugh with just a look was harder still. But he managed it.

I remember Dale Winton's account of meeting Larry. Larry said you should never give up on yourself. It's the ones who keep trying that make it.

Used to look forward to The Generation Game so much every Saturday night I'd watch it with my Grandparents. I loved this mans silly humor.

Loved him, and he loved us.

He was beautiful. He had class and dignity. It was lovely to see how touched and emotional his friend was at the end hearing his voice. He was was loved so much. Brilliant video

Loved him. I'll never forget the 70s as a young boy watching him so nice and funny god bless you sadly missed xx

One of Britain’s great entertainers.we don’t get them like that anymore.

I love seeing Isla here, whose affection for Larry is real and constant. Why she didn’t end up having a long successful career on tv I don’t know.

I adored this man. There will never be another, funny without being crude and seemed so geniune

What a legend! What a raconteur! Never used expletives. A master of wit and innuendo.

I had the luck to spend a few occasions in the eighties with Larry.He was a real star with true x factor. I talked to him a few weeks before he died and was saddened to hear of his passing. He was like someone you never met in my home town ,he just stood out and inspired me. RIP Larry ,one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Larry made such an impression on me as a small child...I loved him to bits. Now I'm 48 and have so so enjoyed this look back at this wonderful, funny, unique mans life. Thanks so much for posting x

Me and my late mum nick named Mucky Maisie were contestants on his Generation Game. Me and mum were invited to a party in wakefield years later after his show at the Bradford Alhambra and I remember following his white Rolls Royce in dads Ford Ford cortina so that's a while back🤣 He was a lovely man. .❤

larry was and Is a legend no question, He made the generation game fun

Being from Nuneaton we as a town aren't doing enough to honor and remembrance to him.. He devoted his life to this town and it's like hes forgotten forever.. it angers me..

Larry was such a funny and likeable man. You couldn't help laugh at his stories and characters. He slogged for years without making an impression before getting his break.

A Fabulous tribute to a magnificent Star - so much more than todays "celebrities " A genuine funny gentle - man . God Bless and love him forever my hero

I was born in 1989 so didn't really get to see any of the great man on TV but thanks to shows like this and platforms like KZfaq I have spent a lot of time laughing thanks to Larry Grayson, so incredibly funny and seems such a sweet man.

Larry is from that halcyon period where we loved comedians, rather than merely admired them. His timing and superb mannerisms are still outstanding. Greatly missed but always treasured. Many thanks for posting!

Always thought it was such a shame he found fame in his later years,A very funny man could have you in stitches just with a look.R.I.P. Larry.

This era had the best entertainers.They knock spots off todays.Still makes me laugh today does Larry as do the rest of these icons.Sad days and ways we kive under today

What a lovely man.

Larry talked about, even in his latter years (1992) candidly and without embarrassment about his bouts of low mood and depression... Very sad, but Larry was loved and a Palladium Star to the last. Requiescat in Pace, Larry 😔

Larry Grayson.. a man that became one of Britain’s favorite performers whose stardom almost never happen.. he was 50 when he became known.. and ’smoothed the way’ for soo many ✨soo funny… sweet smiles.. when so many men called him a lovey man… xo

If ever you need cheering up, just watch a bit of Larry, a true gentleman no pretence what you see is what you get R.I.P Larry 💕we love and miss you.

Great guy great British entertainer . Top comedian growing up watching Larry Grayson on tv it was the best

Truly a great. And a wonderful human being too. Thanks for a super upload.

Nearly 30 years since Larry passed his uniqueness his fun his amazing way he connected to people will NEVER BE forgotten RIP LARRY you star shines brightly

Working class heroes are few and far between. This man had funny bones. How many families did this man make Saturday nights special for. Larry Grayson I salute you.

Such a lovely lovely person. I miss him, he was a one off. A gentle soul. He would feel right at home in my house “look at the muck in here!” Bless him wherever he is now.

What a great Comedian, a lovely man & friend 👏 He is missed.

thank you for sharing this great video tribute of larry grayson he was a one off performer and surely missed r.i.p

What came across was what a humble, sincere and nice man Larry Grayson was. I was moved to tears in parts. I thought his and indeed his adopted sister's devotion to him, was very touching. Although he was devoted to Nuneaton, I do recall that a nasty (Conservative) counsellor, commented, after Grayson's death, that Nuneaton did not want anything to do with his sort when there was discussion of some sort of memorial. Whilst he died relatively young, he remains fondly remembered and despite his camp persona, I think the gay community accepts him for who he was and no longer sees him as an uncomfortable stereotype (because he was not playing a part). Thank you for posting this interesting and informative documentary.

Larry was a one off and sadly missed, great memories of a true star...wonderful comedian and a true gentleman ❤

Awesome, what a great guy. They don't make em like Larry anymore. Thanks Larry for entertaining us all. Rest now our friend. You was a true STAR.

Again a Beautiful story about Good Old English comedies... Sadly all these are long gone, as if brits do not enjoy to laugh these days... RIP💐 mr. Larry Grayson... Fact is this... Different persons ...but similar lives in BRITISH comedy landscape... Greetings from Bucarest ROMANIA 😂😊

Lovely documentary.. As a schoolboy I'd often visit Larry & Fan's house on Hinckley Road on my way home from school.. Always to be greeted with a smile & a signed photo from either Larry himself, or more usually Fan.. Magical days & fond memories of growing up in Nuneaton in the 70's..

What a charming and humble man!

I was quite lucky to have met him in person and I'm proud to be able to say only lived two miles away from him and very privileged to have met and lived near him

They were the days of real talent and star quality ♥️

Dear friends of Larry, haven't you heard it ? His famous last words "SHUT THAT DOOR" have a double meaning : for a Frenchman, they sound phonetically like '"JE T' ADORE " meaning 'I LOVE YOU'. And that exactly what he tells us, whispering as an afterthought almost " I love you ". Greetings from the Netherlands, Hans ...

Such a fantastic man me and my mum cried with laughter watching him, loved him.

What a great entertainer Larry was gone but never forgotten

Loved Larry Grayson Absolute star ✴️ watched him every time he was on TV so funny 😂🤣😂🤣 And what a lovely man so humble .A man that lived life through bad times poor times but made it BIG TIME and yes he was a national Treasure.R.I.P. Larry Grayson we loved you 💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✴️✴️✴️✴️👏

The guy I worked for in the 80s bought his house on Hinckley Road when he moved down south.

Funny funny man. He was so great on the Generation Game.

He was just a genius 💜

The whole thing about Larry Grayson and all the others like him was that we never new, we didn’t care and it was always ok. We loved them immensely. We miss them

Lovely man we met him at a charity event which he supported regularly. Always fun to watch 🙏

What a treat.. this was a wonderful tribute to Larry Grayson.. a great comedian and performer. He created very funny fictional characters that really came to life in your imagination, his comedy timing, one liners and camp asides were spot on and he always performed with a beautiful warmth and humility… all in all “he seemed like a nice boy”..

Wasn't we lucky to have grown up in those days, with a gem 💎 load of British comedy.🤣 Christmas Special's. I love all of them. However my favorite will always be Stanley Baxter and Monty Python. 😆😂🤣Those were HAPPY HAPPY DAYS.😁

A lovely man , humble, kind , lived a very simple life , lived near him in hinckley , him in Nuneaton ... loved by the locals ...

Larry Grayson = sheer top class entertainment. If Larry was on, I was watching. Just marvellous. I won’t forget you Mr Grayson. 🙏❤️

I love comedy . And Larry was a master . Respect to him. He had a sad life but bought us all laughter. Thank you Billy

Wonderful. Loved him…. And all his friends, Everard, Slack Alice, ‘Pop it in Pete’ the Postman. Apricot Lil… what a world. All fun and warmth

Nearly choked eating my pasta bake,what a funny guy Larry was ,a true comic genius, thanks for the happy memories 👌👍❤🇬🇧

What a superstar! He made me laugh all through my childhood. The whole family would be in hysterics watching him perform! A lovely, lovely human being!!!

What a wonderfully talented man who entertained us during one of the best two decades of the 20th century. RIP Larry. I just hope that when you got to heaven you remembered to “shut that door”

He was, "a natural" in every aspect of the word. Soo talented, funny and utterly brave too. The world lost a great entertainer and also a great bloke too. We will never see his like again.

Loved Larry Grayson...comic genius...sadly missed

Darling Larry I thank you for the laughs the memories and great times you are to dearly loved to be forgotten you are a one off a truly unique talent and a beautiful soul I will miss you forever

What a lovely lovely man,I never missed his shows, he made me laugh so hard💔💔

Thank you so much for uploading this. I genuinely shed a tear near the end. I was only little when he was on TV but I do remember so much. And laughing so much. He was a national treasure. Sorely missed. :-(

Thank you so much for all your comments, it has been astounding the response I have got since I've posted this video. I am almost certain I've got some other Larry Grayson clips on old VHS tapes, if I can get them uploaded somehow I shall do so. I hope you are all safe & well & don't forget............ SHUT THAT DOOR!!!!!!

Love that guy made me laugh

Brilliant tribute to a great comic, and a very nice man, one who could be funny without ever once using a bad word!

I loved this time. We lived in Scotland. My father worked for the State department,and he was stationed in England. My mom watched his show on the winds and we all loved it.

Uncanny , I live in Nuneaton , when I was 14 went to a not so good , Boarding school in Torquay , across the rd from We’re Larry and Freddie Star lived, saw Freddie a few times , but never spotted Larry there , and of course still live in Nuneaton, a dead town now , like most of small Towns , live in the memory’s of people my age , 57 ,cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

Grew up watching this SO talented shinning star..............love/LOVED his individuality which included those facial expressions...................to this day he,s a star in his OWN right..................we miiss u Larry.G........

Such a wonderful reminder of growing up in the 1970s, which for all it's problems, was the decade of my life which i remember most fondly. At times, the yearning for those days as a carefree kid is almost a physical ache.

KING LARRY ! You are sorely missed down here on this Planet..... .. Schoot that dooooor ! , Muckinere !

Larry Grayson - Absolutely brilliant!

A unique one off - comic genius. Coupled with a gentle demeanor. R.I.P Larry a true force of Nature.❤

Thanks for posting saw some clips when I was younger of Larry and I've enjoyed seeing this brilliant entertainer a truly gifted funny man who brought happiness to so many seemed like a genuine kind down to earth gentleman a true star ✨ who had time for everyone fondly remembered Xx ❤️ deeply loved and missed

Larry was such a genuinely funny man and it seems his private life reflects what a wonderful person he truly was...he seemed like a nice boy!

I used to do impressions of Larry when I was a little lad. I still say to this day, Shut That Door.

This is absolutely brilliant - thanks a million for posting it here!

UK had always a long line of masters of comedy... Larry Grayson is one of them... 😊

Wonderful man , so naturally funny . 30 years to become an overnight success . Genius

Very much missed…..laugh on a Saturday evening 🥂

I used to live a short distance from Larry in Nuneaton. He would often be seen in his garden, chatting with the local children or passers by. He was a lovely man, a shining light in our community. Thanks for sharing this documentary

I come back to this wonderful tribute occasionally, for the simply magic entertainment of Larry, he, when paired up with Isla was a great part of the comedy of the time. Larry was such a funny and entertaining guy and loved by millions, and certainly missed still today by so very many. Thank you for this great tribute, and RIP Larry.

I've just discovered this wonderful man he was ahead of his time thank you

Such a lovely story! He was always on TV as I was growing up but I somehow didn't appreciate just how great he was, until I watched this video. Maybe it's cause I'm getting older, but I really miss this sort of comedy from much simpler times.

We will never get these days back again. Sadly missed

He seems like he would have been such fun to know! What a loss xx

Great nostalgia trip into a world that no longer exists. I laughed so hard at the wonderful Larry Grayson and felt a little sad that it was gone. R.I.P Larry entertainment personified ❤️

I am not much of a smiler but i just smiled from start to finish. Excellent post xxxx

One thing I love about Britian is the wonderfully eccentric characters we produce,such as Larry who I remember fondly from my childhood. I enjoy the Carry On films,not because the scripts are particularly hilarious,it's more due to the wonderful comic actors that deliver these lines. There is nothing funny about "Shut that door" unless one man is saying it,and that man is Larry Grasyon.☺️

David, thank you so much for posting this. Larry was a comedy genius and a perfect gentleman. It seems life had so much real humour when we were younger or am I being too nostalgic......

Grew up with Larry on tv. What a fantastic guy

He pitched his camp and won millions of hearts. His gags and timing were funny. The so called comedians today could learn a thing or to about entertainment from Larry, Dawson, and Doddy?
