So sad to hear, that comedy entertainer and stand up comic Bobby Brag dies this week after a long battle with Cancer.
Many of you will know Bobby as he was often used to warm up the live audience before filming episodes of Only Fools and Horses and The Green Green Grass.
Additionally Bobby appeared as the landlord in Rock and Chips.
Out thoughts and sympathy go out to his family and close friends.
The Banbury born entertainer spent his life introducing programmes such as Dale Winton’s Supermarket Sweep, Gladiators and the hugely popular Bullseye. Fellow entertainers took the twitter following the announcement of Bobbie’s death by his son, with many recalling his natural talent and huge likeability. Proving you can’t beat a bit of Braggy.
I lost a very close friend on virtually the same day last year – and I missed this news completely …could not believe it when I saw the tribute to Bobby and Gareth Gwenlan at the end of the Only Fools and Horses Story last night. Bobby was a real gentleman as well as being very funny when I saw him as warm-up for both OFAH and Green Green Grass. Bobby also attended at least one OFAH convention where I was fortunate to have a really good chat with him and I managed to get him to sign a few things for me. He was saying how much he loved John Sullivan and his writing and how fortunate he considered himself to have been to have been part of the OFAH fabric.
Another one bites the dust …
Big shame. Part of the OFAH family as they say.
RIP Bobby.
