Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year.
His impression of a depressed man on Swansea beach was hilarious.
Saw him on telly once miming a sculptor making a naked woman out of clay. One of the funniest things I have seen. Got a bit hit and miss and the end of his career as his health and recreational habits were kicking in. Not helped by the false Yew Tree accusations. He was completely bonkers and the advice was always never sit in the first six rows at one of his shows. He loved Blackpool as well so that made him an OK guy by me. RIP.
You have mission in life to hold out your hand,

Help your fellow man.
