[Ariesbetch]

[garymichael1950]

Hmmmm... I've never heard of Bob Downe...I was looking for something else and just happened on this..I'm watching and thinking.."this reminds me of someone"..and then it hit me...several years ago I did a show with Susan Anton and JOHN DAVIDSON.....BINGO!!!!!

Saw Bob in Glasgow in the 90's. Was hands down (no pun intended) the funniest show I've ever seen.

You know it's a good act when they leave the stage and the audience are still laughing.

That was great.

[trowuttatwo]

hmmmm..is it me, or was that bow to the Queen just a teeeensy bit curt!!! LOL - is there an official bow? Goodness knows you were drilled about what to do & NOT do while in the line up waiting for the Queen to put that satin covered trout in your hand - but were there bowing regulations. 'You will bow to the Queen on this spot & you will make eye contact with the glitteriest thing you can see, (no not Edward) & bow moving your head in a downward motion of exactly 15 centimetres? love Susan xxxx

[DollyAU]

Bob you are fabulous i love you lol

[jacko150278]

Bob you are so funny!

Are you really gay or do I stand a chance??!!

[OzTerri]

my very butch cousin (male) refused to join me and my mum when we went to see you at the GC Arts Centre a few years ago. his loss. loved the show, love YOU.

[Gardhard]

Why haven't we (European Continentals that is) seen and heard you Bob? I remember the first time I saw you at The Orchard (hotel) in Bournemouth, England, in the early 90s. Mesmerizing!

[martinjbrant]

Thanks for posting this one Mark, love the comedy sketch in your ITV special about your royal variety experience, I must get that uploaded as I have the entire show on DVD! As always great stuff, OBE next!

[yatahae]

I'm American and I got it. No that hard to figure out

[riggsy1980]

From hearing their reaction on this tape the audience seemed to enjoy the visual elements of the performance but do you think they actually 'got' your act? I can imagine all the posh folk saying "Daaahling what is he doing? That's not Cliff! Is it?" Anywho - you got to meet HRH the Queen so who cares right? Hugs, Riggsy

[bobdowne4real]

Unless you're a HUGE star on prime time telly, they never get much... during my standup before the song, all I could see was a sea of grey heads, leafing thru their programmes. But I got there in the end and that's the main thing! ;-)
