Life's a funny business for Ray Lowry


RAY Lowry has a twinkle in his eye and smile which flashes a smart set of teeth. To be expected from a dentist/doctor/comedian.
Ray’s career has taken two very separate paths, on the one hand he has written gags for some of the country’s leading comics, including The Two Ronnies and Kenneth Williams, and on the other he has led a distinguished career in public health.
“It came down to a crunch decisions,” Ray recalls, “Was I going to try my luck in London or was I going to move to the North East and look at people’s teeth.”
Ray chose to live in the North East and become a distinguished figure in public health medicine. Currently he lives in Tynemouth with wife Lorraine, 58, they have two daughters, Kate, 26, a maths teacher at St Thomas More school in North Shields and Jessica, 21, a psychology student at Durham University.

But the comedian has never been far from Ray’s life.
