  • That was an amazing performance

    God we miss him

  • Absolutely.brilliant

  • get him back on our T.V's this is great television

  • @123lindee they deffo should, this was when TV was great!! the press have ruined him realy! but hes still love even today!!

  • I know Barrymore is totally unfashionable these days but that routine was absolutely perfect in everyway. I remember seeing it as a child and wished we had a vvieo recorded - thanks and lovely to see this again..

  • My Dad is in this ^_^ so proud!

  • @ty62100 You should be it was fantastic:)

  • @ty62100 ..SO YOU SHOULD BE ,,,ITS A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE FROM EVERYBODY ON STAGE ..ITS GREAT!!. I REMEBER WATCHING THIS LIVE YEARS AGO AND IT STICKS IN MY MEMORY AS ONE OF THE GREATIST PERFORMANCES I EVER SAW.

  • My Dad is in this ^_^ so proud!

  • @ty62100 what the CSM name?

  • Quite unfunny....

  • No body looks at the good things barrymore did ....only the bad! ...one time on strike it lucky or strike it rich I remember a there was a poor couple and they wanted to buy a car ....anyway they did'nt win much and barrymore said "dont worry i'll buy you a car" from his own money and once there was a little girl with health problems and he paid for her and her family to visit disney world or something like that! and he so nice to people!......he's not a bad guy honestly! the press ruined him

  • Cant wait to see Michael at North Pier Blackpool starting July 2011 !!!!

  • Part of Barrymore's routine at the 1993 Royal Variety Performance. Must be amongst the best RVP performances of them all.

    Whatever your personal thoughts about the man, let the entertainment speak for itself. This was pure class.

  • So many bitter people here, lets sum things up for a minute, probably the best entertainer for many a year....We miss you Michael.

  • Well said trupnk

  • whatever you think of Michael Barrymore its good to see the lads having a good time and enjoying their time in the lime light, god knows they deserve it whilst we go to our 9-5 job these boys are putting theirs lives on their lines, for us.. and this goes for all soldiers, regardless of their nationality

  • great entertainer,but ill be buggered if i went in his swimming pool

  • @kingdomofdalriada It's libellous remarks such as this that lead to misunderstanding and malicious gossip. Michael didn't kill once, so how can he "kill again"? He has never even been charged, and still remains one of the funniest entertainers we have seen for many years. I look forward to seeing him in Blackpool on 16th July.

  • Classic variety performance.

  • Barrymore has admitted knowing who killed that guy at his house in a Piers Morgan interview. Surely by law he has to tell the police?

  • @4hotspur you're a dick

  • Despite everthing I really wish that Barrymoore and the general public could bury the hatchet and let him resume his career. This video is a real marvellous act and one of the very best ever performances in the history of The Royal Variety Performance. After Barrymoore's appearance on Big Brother the last time I saw him in anything was in a production of Scrooge a couple of years back. I only saw the advertisment, not the actual show.

  • @FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW the people still love him! the reaction he got on big brother was amazing

  • @FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW If you gve Barrymore a rope he would hang himself

  • I used to like watching him on strike it lucky used to be a great show and a great guy

  • Comment removed

  • Colonelniko it was performed at The Dominion Theatre in London ... now home to the Queen musical, We Will Rock You! x

  • Genius, utter genius

  • That sounds familiar. It could be I'm getting slightly mixed up. I remember seeing the all or some of the Strallens twice. It may be that the Scarlett, Summer and Zizi were interviewed and perhaps did a number on the 'Barrymore' TV show and Zizi later appeared on stage alone to sing the duet with Barrymore. The song was the Streisand number 'How lucky can you get'. He dropped her into the orchestra pit on the final 'WOW...how lucky..can you get'.

  • Cheers! I had a look at the past RV's and 1993 seems to be the only year when Michael Barrymore was listed. Most of that performance is already on utube but there is no footage of the Strallens or The Young Set.

  • @Sarahfiona8 That's interesting. It was defo done in a theatre setting. MIght it have been a Children's RV? (One time I think he appeared with Dana and Frank Bruno) and he did one or two televised Prince's Trust variety shows...I remember one where Barrymore sang 'I'm going to get lit up when the lights go on in London' on a wartime theme. He sang live which was unusual and it was a show-stopper. I'll keep thinking and looking for the vid.

  • @KennnnnnyTucky Could have been a children's RV. It was definitely a variety show that was televised. There was a section where Barrymore was singing with a marching band and at the very end Zizi came running on and and knelt down next to Michael Barrymore. I remember reading in the papers that the adults backstage had forgotten to give Zizi her cue to run on but she herself remembered despite being so young and came running on the right moment anyway.

  • Barrymore was at his best in this, didn't realise it was all those years ago

  • god  bless our troops!

  • Kings regiment at its best lol

  • good to see this .brings back good memory ex kings

  • good to see this .its been a long time .ex kingo

  • Barrymore at his very best. Great idea and outstanding choreography/production(Alan Harding?). Barrymore was not the greatest singer or dancer but he could hoof it with the best of them and create magic on stage. Another favourite was at another Royal Variety? where he did a number with the Strallen's (Summer, Scarlett and then toddler Zizi). Midway through the song he held out Zizi at arms length and literally dropped her into the orchestra pit. Again Magical. What a loss to Light Ent.

  • @KennnnnnyTucky Any idea if there is a video of this performance with the Strallens? What year was it?

  • @Sarahfiona8 Hi. I don't think there was a commerical video but I've got a copy of the performance on VHS somewhere in a box in the garage. Can't quite remember the year but think it was mid-90's when Barrymore was at the top of his game. I'll see if I can find it.

    1 second ago Cheers! I had a look at the past RV's and 1993 seems to be the only year when Michael Barrymore was listed. Most of that performance is already on utube but there is no footage of the Strallens or The Young Set.

  • I haven't seen this since 1995 and it's still as funny

  • great bit of Royal variety i always laughed when Michael mouthed i love you to the sargent major just before this

  • Would be great to see this done again on a much bigger scale, I was looking at a Video of the Chinese and Russians marching to the Pet Shop boys my god can they keep things in sync and with a vast number of people it looks mighty impressive

  • who told him he could sing , he got away with murder.

  • supereb!!! bring back barrymore

  • Outstanding

  • Heard this song on the radio this morning so just had to find the performance on youtube.  This was when Barrymore was funny and at his best.

  • Comment removed

  • Troops were out of synch at the end! Barrymore has always been a great entertainer - and certainly superb at interacting with fellow performers and audiences. This is funny, but it is predicated on stereotypical homophobic viewpoints toward effeminacy and promiscuity - shame. Meanwhile, it remains a terrible waste that Barrymore is not using his many skills in the world of television and entertainment

  • Where was this performed at?

  • At the Dominion Theatre.

  • I could watch this forever, What a genius... but what a shame !

  • 1:22 Absoulutly fantastic!!!!

    only the kings could do this!!!!!

  • Michael completely stole the show that night

  • Michael Barrymore was and still is an excellent entertainer regardless of what has happened in his personal life. I remember this clip when it was on TV. Good to see it again.

  • Brilliant ! Many thanks for posting this. I remember seeing it on the TV all those years ago and was in stiches for a 2nd time when I saw your posting !

  • this video is absolutely awesome, barrymore is a comical genius, such a shame we av to lose someone like him because of the padantic attitude of this countrys public!!! Bring Back Barrymore!!!!

  • i think michael barrymore was great, thats british humour, so i dont know why people have such negative attitudes. these people should try laughing for a change. the world would be a better place

  • So glad I could catch this one on Youtube. . I think it is one of the funniest acts on the Royal Variety ever.

  • @2katie what is the name of the CSM in here

    

  • hey Ratflinger, you sound like a right dickhead, in this country we can have a laugh, its called having a sense of humour, these guys were having a bit of fun and why not, they work fucking hard all year, keep yer shit comment to your self in future.

  • chrissylm37...you're making this too easy.

    1. Stupider is a word. If you know how to use a dictionary, perhaps you should look it up.
