RIP. I got married in Rochdale (wife was originally from there). Bobby owned a nightclub called Braces and we hired his DJ at our wedding reception who was a funny as he was. Bobby was a very respected person who was always popping up around the town.
A truly funny man, in a nice gentle way. So sad that he has gone before his time. The sketch with Jocky Wilson playing darts is an absolute delight. RIP Bobby.
Heard canon and ball interviewed on radio 5 only weeks ago. They were talking about how they ring each other every single day. The philharmonic orchestra did a rendition of their theme tune song and listening to it brought a lump to my throat. Nostalgia I guess. Sad day. RIP. "Rock on Tommy" is no more.

Another childhood favourite gone.
That's how you know you're getting old.
RIP......Bobby......RIP.
Bobby came across as a good guy with straight forward northern humour.
Not the cleaver arse political stuff that every young comic feel they have to do now.
RIP Bobby Ball.
But loved him in Not Going Out.
Also if you have a spare 12 minutes watch the first 12 minutes of this.
R.I.P Bobby
Thanks Johnny. RIP all the same Bobby.
