Very sad news. Such a funny man and so generous in his appreciation of other comics and writers.

That's a shame. I was seated next to him at a dinner once when I was very junior. He was a nice man and very witty, as might be expected.

Don't think anyone ever had a bad word to say about him. A properly great comedian and comedy writer.

Supremely entertaining, whether as writer, performer, critic, or panellist. It's almost simpler to list the top comedians for whom he hadn't written material.

Oh no. One of the absolute greats. Great joke of his at the end of this report: theguardian.com

Also the source of my favourite joke, about the blind skydiver -- he knows it's time to pull the cord when the dog's lead goes slack. (Particularly loved in my family because I have a nephew who is blind and does actually like to go skydiving.)

RIP Barry.

Heart broken.

He was behind so much of comedy that has shaped my (admittedly clinically disordered) personality. I tried to get the members of my team to share their favourite terrible jokes in his honour, but it seems they don't necessarily appreciate the genre as much as I do :(
