# So sad to see that Bobby Ball has died after a Covid 19 diagnosis. He was up there with Tommy Cooper and Eric Morecambe in that you just had to look at him and started laughing. He didn't need to say anything as he just had that mischievous look about him and you knew what was coming.
@colinwalker My main memory is always one of anticipation for the comedic acts on the ‘Saturday/Sunday night at the Palladium’ variety shows, watching them with the rest of the family. But they never were quite as funny and I wanted them to be.
