[News] Jeremy Hardy RIP

[LamieRobertson]

I always found him funny...(although I know some didnt necessarily warm to his politics)...particularly on R4's The News Quiz..also watched him live as part of the Shoreham Festival on Beach green Shoreham he did a 2 hour one man show non stop.......died of cancer aged 57 ...for me he was a comedian I followed closely and a tad shocked....as this comes like a bolt out of the blue
..survived by his long term partner and daughter

Mark Steel tweeted (the humour is great amidst the sadness)
''My dearest friend @JeremyJHardy left us early this morning. I was so lucky to have spent 35 years arseing about with him. Knowing him as I did, I know he wouldn't want you to be sad, he'd want you to be bloody devastated x''

Sad news, another gone too soon, RIP Jeremy.

 

[The Large One]

Sad news. Saw him several times, and always on the button.

Even made Blackadder with a wonderful whimsical delivery of "Well, Captain... I've got to admire your balls."

 

[Gwylan]

That's sad to see. he was a funny guy. Someone I've actually met a couple of times as he was a friend of a friend.

RIP

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Brilliant comedian. RIP

 

[Surf's Up]

A very funny man who will be sorely missed.

 

[Nathan]

Shocked and sadden by this news, didn't know he had cancer. Found him naturally funny and had a great way of delivering his jokes. Have a couple of his books which I will have to dig out.
R.I.P.

His 'singing' on ISIHAC was enough to reduce you to tears. A sad day indeed.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Always liked him on R4 and standup. Very young RIP

 

[Hamilton]

An absolute legend. Truly saddened by this news.

 

[catfish]

One of my favourite comedians. Seen him live many times. And oh, that singing voice! RIP.

The only way you can ever accuse a Conservative of hypocrisy is if they walk past a homeless person without kicking them in the face. - JH

 

[Moshe Gariani]

RIP. Always liked him.

Symptomatic of "middle age" is that I'm surprised he was as old as 57 at the same time as being shocked by his early death.

i've pasted the link to him being interviewed by Jack Dee for Radio 4's Chain Reaction back in 2007 (it was on the BBC News story announcing his death). I'm listening to it, and enjoying it very much, now.
