I met Barrymore outside a comedy club in Kings Cross on a stand up comedy night in about 2009 me and my friend were performing at. Barrymore also did a 5 minute set that got everyone excited. Anyway, me and my mate were pretty drunk and after talking to him for about 5 minutes, during which he made some nice comments about our acts and also some constructive ones, one of use made a sort of subtle joke about swimming pools. He actually smiled at it without saying anything. He came across as a really nice bloke during that brief interaction and I've always had time for him since.

I might have been at that same comedy club that same night. Me and my mate also ran into him at a chippy, we were also drunk on Ribena and vodka’s. We talked to him for about 10 minutes mostly about a few violent crimes we committed, GBH, Maiming and the like he gave some creative criticism about hiding evidence, having your PA take stuff from a crime scene and calling your publicist first when a body is found. One of us then made a joke about swimming pools and he just smiled wistfully and called Paul Daniels on his mobile and kinda limped off. I never really had much time for him after that.

How the hell did he get away with singing "Arsehole, Arsehole!" on primetime tv? Another brilliant video from you. I remember watching Ruth Ellis' daughter and how disturbed she seemed. One forgets how the 90s were. The gnome couple is probably the best example of how awful humiliation seemed to be used as so-called great TV, but there are so many in here. I always had a soft spot for Barrymore though as my mother really loved him. She'd be in the depths of depression, sometimes having literally just been released from psych hospital but being no better, and when Barrymore would appear on TV, a flicker of a smile would flash across her face. So for what watching him did for my mother, made me very kindly disposed towards him. She got dementia in the end and asked, several years after the swimming pool scandal, if he was still on TV. I didn't have the heart to tell her he wasn't, nor to start trying to explain why.....

Saw him at the BIC in the early 90's just before his initial troubles. It was like having a tiger prowl among the audience. The energy and the amount of running around he did. I wasn't a fan but had to admire the work ethic and how he worked the venue (which is large). How did he do it? How would he get the energy to do it for the 2nd performance that day? Well the answer turned out to be booze and coke. Still, glad I got to see the act live at his peak. Seen many acts at the BIC but none of them quite like that evening.

The problem with relying upon danger and unpredictability as a key component of an act, is that danger is dangerous and unpredictability is unpredictable. It seems like that would be blatantly obvious, but to a lot of performers, audiences, and TV producers, it often doesn't become clear to them until a situation gets out of hand. Take examples from right across the board, and you could perhaps include Michael Barrymore, Chris Evans, Noel Edmonds, Julian Clary, Jeremy Kyle, I'll let the individual reader decide who fits the bill. All types of "dangerous" performer usually start with an act which works very well. But one successful outrageous moment then demands a slight step-up for the next to keep the act alive. And eventually, the acts often end up taking turns for the worse. In a best case scenario, the act will merely become a bit sad and tired. But if your look into history, they most often tend to have real-life consequences of a devastating degree. Somehow, the danger onstage manifests into something far more real. The glass ceiling is only discovered once it has been well and truly broken through. Using danger as an act is to shake hands with the devil.

Old Barrymore was always very divisive in my home... We all kind of liked him, especially as a Game Show host where he in my opinion thrived... But he was never "Cock of the Walk" shall we say... I dunno, Benny Hill was more our thing - Genuinely Ernest picture postcard humour... (Also, where I live... Benny was a regular visitor as he came to see and care for an old friend - Almost every weekend we woudl see him on the local park with an old gentleman he had worked with in the past, and he supported him until his passing...) I think for me Barrymore came across as a bit of a "Try Hard" - He certainly had the Charisma to pull it off though... Cringe, yes... But are we all above a bit of Cringe Humour? I think not! The issue and why so many, even myself, look at him with such disdain now is that Death at his home... Just far too many Unanswered Questions... It hard to look back now and Cringe like we used to without thinking about that event! And how there appears to have never been any justice!

@@jacko717 its covered in Catch a Falling Star by Cheryl Barrymore. Ok in late 96 when Tom Snyder decided to step down as the host of The Late, Late Show in the US, CBS, impressed by how well the David Letterman shows sold to the UK markets, thought itd be a good idea to get a British host to replace Snyder. Brian Conley who was in the US performing as Jolson did a pilot recorded on the set of/ with the audience of The Late Show with David Letterman & was practically given the job until Barrymore's wife Cheryl (they weren't divorced yet), his ITV production team & lawyers went to work saying Conley owed them 2 series of his variety show, 2 sitcoms & 2 specials. This was false but believe it or not Barrymore had alot of control of ITVs Saturday night schedule & Cheryl Barrymore was a production consultant on Brian Conleys show & basically forced CBS to not offer Conley the contract & to consider Barrymore instead. Letterman was unsure about Conley but hated the idea of Barrymore. Anyway because CBS weren't prepared to buy Conley out of his contract agreed to let Barrymore film a pilot. Then the shit hit the fan. Before Barrymore filmed it he split up with Cheryl for good but she stayed on to produce but they weren't talking. He had also started shagging multiple blokes every night under her nose & had got into injecting speedballs. Also before filming began he heard the devastating news that Princess Diana had died & told anyone who would listen that he couldn't be in the US when those two poor babies (Princes William & Harry) needed him. Cheryl prepared a pilot similar to his UK show but filmed in Las vegas with him interacting with the audience etc but he decided he wanted nothing to do with her plans & instead his new boyfriend wrote a comedy drama about a character called Michael Barrymore escaping the stresses of the uk & going to las Vegas to film a show & getting lost, drunk & having various hallucinations via fantasy musical scenes along the way with Jane Leeves playing his fairy godmother before he eventually gets to the studio on time. He threw a massive tantrum when Jane Leeves turned up because she was English. He wanted an American for an American show. He insulted Jane who left & when they realised they couldn't get anyone else, had to pay her treble her agreed fee to return. Anyway he filmed it his way & it was a total mess, CBS/Letterman hated it & ITV, ashamed that they'd put alot of money into it showed it only once after midnight in December 97. Its HORRENDOUS. Millard would love it. CBS didn't learn from this abomination however & many years later employed James Corden

I'm pretty sure if Barrymore had been in the Third Reich, even old Adolf would have told him "tone it down a bit, mate". kzitem.info/news/bejne/wKaIuaSciYqLdaA I've had a brief skip through that 'Special' because quite frankly Stuart I do not have a robust enough stomach like you do.

@20:00 that’s one of the few things I remember from the show, apart from that godawful “Doing The Crab” song he insisted was sweeping the nation And it STILL makes me uncomfortable - the gnome couple both seem have some sort of SENs, especially the woman, and Barrymore would have been better served being quietly encouraging not taking the piss in the hyperactive way he normally does. I think the trouble with Barrymore is that because the shows could be quite high production, they resorted to the “my kind of people” bits as a way of passing time and saving money Unfortunately, whilst Messrs. Tarrant or James found plenty of pomposity to prick, Barrymore went for the lowest common denominator and it shows! Poor Jan Baker seems to have a loving partner and is sincere, but she’s abysmal and it was obvious BEFORE she started playing that it was going to be piss-poor

I well remember Michael Barrymore as a passable game show host and a truly appalling standup. Watching this cavalcade of insipid nonsense can only fill people with second-hand embarrassment. In short, he's the ideal comedian for those who don't understand comedy.

everyone loved to laugh at a coked up comedy act in the 80/90s

I see that 90's was THE last decade of funny Britain. Barrymore must be a English treasure by now.

He was funny but his humour was of its day. Wouldn’t wash now.

26:14 as well as the racism the classic Barrymore horrible funny looks to how the child below is getting into the role. Without any self awareness that he’s the ah-so ah-so responsible for it. But that was his bread and butter, snearing at others. Genuine contempt for others, like nobody is worthy or as important as him. Worse still that other people aren’t really people. But he got found out by his same reaction to someone being found dead in his pool. It was all funny when people thought it was just an act, but then they found out it wasn’t an act. And all that he has left are the Sun demographic who turn up to watch Jim Davison live. There will always be a home somewhere for people like him. Just when you get found out for being awful human being it’s not on television. I mean I say awful human being, I’m talking about awful in a Bernard Manning or Nigel Farage way, maybe even a Philip Schofield. Not the ones who take cyanide capsules at war crime tribunals, or get married and shoot themselves in bunkers. But honestly, the only real difference personality wise is the power you happen to wield. I just realised I mentioned Nigel Farage. I mean the way things are going, in 10 years time people could be reading this after Farage has stepped into the realms of being in the latter category of awful human beings not the former.

I really took a dislike to him when he was doing My Kind of People which was supposed to be showcasing amateur talent. You'd see some kid singing their heart out and then he'd be pratting around in front of them, and taking all the attention away from them.

Normally like your videos but this one seems to a bit poor, your disdain and hatred towards him is overpowering. I think your overanalysing things, Barrymore was a “product” of the time, an extremely successful one at that. The world was VERY DIFFERENT back then and you can’t run around trying to right all the wrongs...There’s far worse than him out there.

He was also representative of the mainstream working class back then. He comes across like a Butlins' performer because he kinda was, for the generations who enjoyed that kind of humour and show. A lot of the sneering does seem to be pretty classist. Not to say that Barrymore's act was good or unproblematic but rather it was part of what was then the prevailing culture. Something which is now long gone.

@@deanolium Yeah, I agree... Barrymore is what I call "Cringe Humour" - You know its bad but you laugh anyway! And if we are all honest... Are any of us even now (God I am 51) Above a bit of Cringe Humour now and again? Absolutely NOT! Jesus, Cringe Humour is why TikTok and KZitem Shorts are so successful... The same Jokes that Barrymore used to tell are now shared and copied far and wide in short form content and get hundreds of thousands of views! There is literally NOTHING Original - They are all Jokes recycled from the 1970's to 2000's regurgitated onto a new format! If Barrymore was so bad, How do these Videos on TikTok and the like get so many positive interactions? I think its fair to say we will all have "Bad Impressions" of Barrymore because of the Obvious... The death of Stuart Lubbock. That incident will always be burned into our memories and the performer he was... That is tainted by that memory! I am going to be fair to Barrymore - Where he really thrived was as a Game Show Host... Beyond any doubt! Again, a trait he shares in common with Brucie!!
