My Take
What hooks me about Freddie Starr is the music underneath the comedy. Before the Royal Variety fame, he fronted the Merseybeat group the Midniters, and that performer's instinct never left him. Singer, impressionist, comic, actor, he was an old-school all-rounder who could flip a room in seconds. His career had its turbulent stretches, but the sheer entertaining force was real. Since his passing in 2019, I think of him as one of those rare acts whose chaotic energy masked years of hard-earned craft. I have a soft spot for performers who change the air the moment they arrive.
