Now, Where Were We? is the show that Barry Cryer has been waiting 86 years to make! Alongside his son, actor and writer Bob Cryer, Barry's booked a room at a favourite London pub, called up a bunch of famous pals he's not seen since lockdown began, and he's invited them down for a pint and a proper catch-up. This is Barry at his storytelling best, in his natural habitat, doing what he’s done for decades: making us laugh. There is some very explicit language used in punchlines from time to time, but Barry's nearly 90, so it's sort of delightful, isn't it? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
