A Tribute To The Entertainers We’ve Lost Since 2009
We’ve been doing this since 2009 and in that time we have lost some of the biggest names in entertainment. From writers of some of our best loved sitcoms to comedians that just never gave up.
In this post we look back at some of those we have lost as we wonder in today’s woke world will we ever see their like again?
Most recently we lost Australian Entertainer Barry Humphries, his Dame Edna character was on our screens for a lifetime

These are just a few of those we’ve lost, we’ll have another look at others another time, but it still prompts the question “Who are the legends of today?”
It just remains to say to all those entertainers, writers and stars who have brought us such laughter and pleasure over the years – Thank You
