    Amazing talent. Sadly his dalliance with drink/drugs took its toll.

    A little more than a dalliance, I believe.

    A shame as for a while he seemed to be making a bit of a return - Sad to hear of his demise, but his lifestyle and mental health issues no doubt contributed.

    Very sorry to hear that, I well remember his contributions to Whose Line Is It Anyway? and OTT. I remember an interview with him from about twenty years ago in which he talks about being so depressed that he couldn't find the motivation to get out of bed or shower, at the peak of his depression.

    Yes very sad. The documentary on his life and troubles was a real eye opener. His various addictions heavily influenced by the serial abuse he endured when he was young.

    A real shame - he had recently started to work again, commenced a small tour where he did a Q&A and some improv with others and had only very recently launched a podcast

    RIP
