    That is sad. Cannon and Ball were before my time or passed me by but his comedic acting really hit my funny bone 

    Notably in shameless and the cockfields 

    Rest in peace Bobby ball

    Was brilliant in Mount Pleasant when he showed he could really act.  Not Going Out he was funnier than Lee Mack

    RIP

    Very sad news.  I was never a fan of Cannon and Ball, but, individually they seemed really likeable blokes.  Bobby was really good in Not Going Out. 

    RIP

    Half of Little and Large and half of Cannon and Ball in the same year. Any other double acts from that era beware!

    RIP Bobby

    Fort Regent, St Helier, Jersey, 1980. I was was young but excited to see people off the telly in real life. I love it when old stars get to make a comeback and deliver to a new generation. Bobby Ball was one of them. RIP

    That's a shame, came across as a very likeable bloke as well as a funny one.

    Gutted. Our family were big fans and my dad got tickets to see them in Torquay when we were on holiday in the West Country in ‘84.

    Bobby Davro (a then unknown) was in the supporting bill, along with Rocky Sharpe and the Replays.

    Had a similar experience. Same venue a few years later with an unknown Joe Pasquale in support. Our faces hurt from laughing after.

    I live local to Bobby and he was a very nice man. Always helped out community and local business.

    It's only a week ago that i booked him to take part in our virtual Christmas event.
