About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Barry Cryer: Same Time Tomorrow? written and read by Bob Cryer.

Foreword by Sandi Toksvig | WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF 2023: ENTERTAINMENT

'Give this book to everyone you know – NOW!' Miriam Margolyes
'This is a joyous, uplifting book' Observer
'He was so funny and such fun and here he is again in all his rib-tickling glory' Gyles Brandreth

‘I don’t know how long I’ve got left … I don’t even buy green bananas anymore’

When the legendary comedian Barry Cryer died in January 2022, there was a vast outpouring of grief, appreciation and anecdotes – from the general public and fellow comics alike. Now, his son, Bob, is doing what Barry’s humility did not allow: revealing the story of the man behind the jokes.

This book is an ode both to Barry’s incredible life and to the lessons he so generously imparted on the art of comedy during his sixty-year career. Stretching from the music halls of the fifties, via working alongside everyone from Morecambe and Wise to Kenny Everett and David Frost, and into more recent times as a stalwart of Radio 4’s long-running I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, where he worked with Rob Brydon and David Mitchell among many others, this book is a hugely entertaining insight into the life of a true comedy legend. Bob also shares a range of exclusive material unique to the Cryer family – including family photos, memorabilia, oral recordings, interviews with friends and colleagues (among them Michael Palin and Eric Idle) – as well as Bob’s own personal reflections on living and working with a comedy icon.

Laced with candour, warmth and filled with his trademark humour, Barry Cryer: Same Time Tomorrow? is not just a wonderfully witty and affectionate biography of a father by a son, but a heartwarming insight into a vanishing era of comedy.©2023 Bob Cryer (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Comedy Funny Witty Heartfelt Celebrity

A Comedian

Many of us in UK and beyond have lived with Barry Cryer in our lives - rather like the Queen, bless her.

Barry's son has done a thoughtful, funny and touching tribute to this man who was behind most of the big comics of the 20th century.

Masses of funny anecdotes as well as a great insight into the daily life of a legend.

Heartily recommended.
