Rik Mayall (1958–2014)

Fucking hilarious.

I had to put this book down many times because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

If you're wanting to know about Rik's early life, his family and career, I suppose you could say you're in the wrong place. If, however, you are looking for more of his pure humour and genius then welcome, friend, please take a seat.

Now that Rik's gone, there's just a massive hole left in the world and nothing will ever fill it.

I actually got through it. As one english interviewer said: "the ramblings of a crazed lunatic".
There are a couple of autobiographical glimpses in there - somewhere. quite meaningful when you do come across them. I couldve killled him after making my way though all those machine-gun paced gross letters to agents & then reading the last sentence. exhausting.
