You know those rare moments of TV comedy that leave you weak with laughter, tears running down your face? Through my life I reckon Rik Mayall was responsible for more of those than anyone else.
Aye. Sometimes, when such people pass, others rush in to offer gushing laments about that person, imo, sometimes over embellishing what really was.
Not in Rik’s case.
Without any doubt, a truely, uniquely, great comedian.
You may not have “got” his style and if that is the case. Take from those who did appreciate his work, he was absolutely great.
Therefore, those, like me, who enjoyed his work, will no doubt feel robbed, for his passing. Way too soon.
Life’s a F’ing bitch !
