Guardian
Award-winning comedy writer Barry Cryer was born in Leeds. He failed
a B. A. in English Literature due to the outbreak of the Second World
War (which had happened 16 years before but upset him greatly). One of
our best-loved comedians and a regular on 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'
he has written for Britain's comedy giants, including Morecambe &
Wise, Jasper Carrot, Tommy Cooper, Richard Pryor and Rory Bremner - to
name but a few.
