Very much a Marmite thing and possibly only up North but a true comedic legend!
RIP Frank/Chris
:-(

[Dog Star]

I saw him support Jonathan Richman at the Town and Country Club. I thought he was hilarious and still have a number of his old LPs. The video on the link took me back a bit. You know it did, it really did.

[Boozy]

He'll need an oddly shaped coffin.

[Shaw Tarse]

Expect a tribute on R2

[Olf]

Their was a girl at school we used to call Fatty Frontbottom. I wonder if they were related.

I don't often post on here as I'm more of a lurker, but I feel this needs to be shared. Unfortunately, Chris' family are struggling to pay for his funeral.

I've set up a website to get donations for Chris' funeral, and I'd appreciate it if you could pass this around to people. I'm sure we can raise enough for a decent send off for a great bloke.

RIP Chris.

I must have turned over several pages at once.

I have never. Ever. Ever. Seen or heard of this person. Apparently, he was around since the 80s.

An early and unpleasant demise; my sympathies to all who are touched by it.

[4sure]

RIP...a very unique and funny man,remember him years ago on the James Whale show,and another late show which i can,t remember ?.....never made the big time,but maybe thats the way he wanted it.

RIP Frank (Chris)

This is tragic, but I don't understand something.

He has a house in Hale. The cheapest houses in Hale must be £300k+. He also has children in their 30's, surely they can raise the few thousand for a funeral through a loan?

[Snoop Bagg]

A great loss!

[Neil H]

RIP. Great shame, he will be missed.

I don't think I've ever seen him without the head though, I have no idea what he really looked like!
