RIP. At least all our hamsters are safe now!

One of the greats. RIP

He looked a very sad figure over the last few years. I think the court case destroyed him. RIP

Remember seeing him at the Circus Tavern in Dartford, RIP

I think you mean the Circus Tavern in Purfleet, Essex, I saw
him there too, probably late 70s, maybe early 80s, hilarious.

Inspiration for one of my favourite childhood games. Rockstar ate my hamster.

RIP legend

I grew up watching Freddie Starr, loved his comedy!

Such a sad loss but he burnt so bright

Him and Billy Connelly are the only two people who have made me cry with laughter to the point of not breathing. Amazing physical comic, RIP Freddie!

The allegations a few years back really took their toll on him. RIP.

Amazing, almost feel like Jim Carey is the modern day Freddie but nowhere near as funny!

Freddie and Des worked so well together

As hilariously funny as he was I supported him at Jollees and spent an evening in his company and couldn't believe how somebody could be so different on and off stage.
His attitude towards women in the room made me feel embarrassed but things were different in the 70s, no excuse but different.
When the Yewtree accusations came out I was totally in defence of him because I expected it would be women.
