He was brilliant, well ahead of his time with most of his work imo. Massive shame.

Absolutely gutted! I remember growing up watching the young ones, and Rik was an absolute gem in that, as he was in most of the things he done..R.I.P Rik, a comedy genius!

 

[deej]

very sad news. Must be another shock to his family following his near fatal accident in the late 90s.

RIP.

All of the Comic Strip crew are (were) immensely funny.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Also remember How to be a little S*d that was just a perfectly made mockumentary

Noooo, that's so sad to hear. One of my favourite comics. Couldn't believe it when my girlfriend just told me.

Devastated. Seen him live many times. Not everyone's cup of tea I must say, but one of my absolute favourites. Saw him in The New Statesman stageshow a few years back and he was brilliant.
