digger Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Passed away today, saw him a couple of times at his stand up shows and he was one of the last non pc comedians. Liked a smoke and a drink and was genuinely funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Was never a big fan of his but hat off to him. Wasn't it his son who shot a mate accidentally with a shotgun and later set himself alight some time ago? Only 67 :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I must have missed the news today, because this the first I've heard of it. I didn't think much of the 'TV' Mike Reid, but when I saw him do standup, on an Adult weekend at Butlin's, after his first stint in Eastbenders, He was the business. Proper, no holds barred, old school standup. If it lived and breathed, it got the pee taken out of it. RIP Mike 'the Gov'ner' Reid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyjaimz Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 He was a great stand up. Also loved him in snatch. Not many people know this, but he was very much into his music aswell, had a massive collection rare stuff etc. very sad, RIP mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
