Sad news yesterday with the death of Tony Slattery aged 65 from a heart attack. He was an electric impromptu comedian with incredible energy and the quickest of wits. Tony was the guy that you wanted the moderator in Whose Line Is It Antway? to pick, along with Josie Lawrence, because the two of them played so well off each other.
He burned out just as he hit the big time and disappeared from public view for 30 years. Ironically he was just getting well enough to reenter the fray when he died. It seems doing comedy as therapy is not to be recommended.
