Anyone outside of the UK might not know who Frank was. He was an old school Irish stand up comedian and they don't make em like him anymore! I just read he got his inspiration after meeting Laurel and Hardy in a barbers shop in Belfast... now there's 2 people who can really be called greats....

R.I.P Frank, thanks for the laughs.

Yes, he was a top man. One of those comedians where you could just laugh looking at him.

That's a shame! He was the Irish master of the crap joke (and some good ones), but always did it with a smile that would make you burst out laughing!

"It's they way you tell em"

RIP Frankie!

Mr. Carson is new to me in the USA, but, all of these guys have talent and deserved to be recognized.
