    Sad news indeed but the man has not been well for ages. He was a customer in my late fathers shop.

    Always played the fool when out in public. Great man. R.I.P. Niorman and thanks for the memories. Only you could make a microphone funny.

    Remember seeing him at the "Gaul ball at the City hall" when there was a charity fund raising for the families of the men that perished. True gent, RIP Norman.

    When I was about 21 some of the older guys at work had booked tickets to see a comedian.
    When I found out it was Norman Collier, I thought "Great, is that the best they can get tickets for?"
    Went along, more for the night out then to see the act.
    Well if ever you could be proved wrong. From the first gag to the last, tears were streaming down my face. What a funny funny man.
    Call it years of experience but he never missed a beat. I'd rate him up there with the best that I have seen including Peter Kay, Rhod Gilbert et al.
    RIP Norman

    You couldn't be more wrong Patty, I did some gigs with him in the 1980s - he was very, very funny indeed. Jimmy Tarbuck once described him as a comedian's comedian. He was also a very nice and down to earth fellow. I asked him why he didn't move to London as he could have made a lot more money. He basically had a love of Hull and the folk around the city.
