Comedy Writing Award & Short Film

I promised to announce two exciting pieces of news about Barry Cryer’s legacy, and I’m happy to say that the day has arrived! Yes, it’s today…

Golden Bazza

In collaboration with Bristol’s Slapstick Comedy Festival (a great favourite of Dad’s), the Cryer family is delighted to announce that the Golden Bazza Award will be inaugurated in 2026. The award itself will be based on the Aardman-designed Comedy Legend accolade he received in 2015.

‘Joke’

To complement the award, Barry’s son Bob is directing a short film based on 10 of Barry’s favourite jokes. The film is called (aptly enough) Joke. So, expect a parrot, a chicken, a vicar, a curate, an archbishop, some moths, a bible, two doctors, a vet and of course, a pub!

It will star some of British Comedy’s biggest stars, many of whom were friends of the late comedian. So far, the artists confirmed to appear include a Dame, two OBEs and the winners of one Oscar, one Emmy, fourteen Baftas, ten Oliviers and nine Comedy Awards. Now, who could they be?

Bob is currently in the process of raising funds for the project, so look out for the opportunity for YOU to get involved and help bring this very special film to life!
