1958 – 2014 • English • Comedian
I died. Which is fantastic, because I have died already; I have been there and come back. I am completely recovered, thank you.
Storytelling has always been one of my great pleasures.
London audiences are the most challenging around - it's a group of such diverse strangers.
As I see it, there's mainstream comedy - and then there's me, out in the badlands.
I have always tended toward extremism: I'm Motorhead rather than REO Speedwagon.
Bring me another bad one, and I shall protect my British people - I brought down Thatcher to protect my people, and I'm bringing down Tony to defend them, and I'll be there for any other dangers that come along.
