Too right! I'll be diggin' out my "Live At The Palladium" video tonight as a tribute. Nobody could command a stage during stand up like Mike Reid. R.I.P Big Fella.

Great to have this question. A super person. Epitaph?
"Runaround starts now!". He would be chuckling at that.

Heard the news this morning on the TV. So sad. Loved him in Eastenders, that part was made for him! My favourite clip was the one where he was married to Peggy but was carrying on with Pat, and turned up at her back door with a revolving bow tie! Classic!!

Long before Eastenders, he did standup on the Northern club circuit. He's now doing a double act with Bernard Manning.

Shocking news. I always thought he would get the chance to make another appearance on Easties and really shake things up again. He was pure comedy genius.
