Happy birthday Barry Cryer
Writer and performer Barry Cryer is back in town for two Fringe shows, appearing in a double act with musician Ronnie Golden and as the subject of a comedy roast, in which comic friends will do their utmost to trash his very being.

Even when you know the punchlines, Barry's jokes are a joy because they are delivered with such fluency and verve. The comic songs have well polished punchy lyrics, one highlight being a Johnny Cash style riff on the merry goings-on in the Berlin Bunker. Ronnie Golden's guitar playing is versatile and accomplished, and his voice, like Barry's, is strong and clear. His party impression of Al Pacino evolving into a chicken had this reviewer in tears.
Barry is an ageless octogenarian and Ronnie a sixtyish scamp. The audience were not far behind demographically but this pair deserve to be seen by a much wider age-range.
