One of my favourite comedians back in the day. A troubled soul in recent years, but still a shock. Only 65.

He was so bloody funny way back. Who's line is it anyway was a staple in our house, bloody hilarious. RIP.

RIP,

loved whose line is it anyway

I saw him a few years back at the Leicester Theater. He clearly had issues. His show sadly was not good and went off at a weird tangent. Such a shame as he was outstandingly funny back in the day on Who's Line is it Anyway.

Had not seen nor heard much of him for a decade or two but like others loved him on Whose Line is if Anyway, which was hilarious. RIP Tony!

Another talent taken too soon. Who's line is it anyway was part of my teen years growing up. So sad. R.I.P ❤️

I remember watching a Horizon programme about Tony Slattery a few years ago. It was quite a sad watch. A fabulous comedian on Whose Line in his heyday. RIP.

He was in my friend's movie The Wedding Tackle so I got to meet him at the wrap party and premier - nice guy. RIP

Whose Line was just brilliant.
Saw it live at The Orchard.
May he RIP.

RIP. Had some very difficult times - cursed with mental illness.

Rip. Sounds like he had it tough. Very sad

Addick Addict · January 14

A genius of a comedian and having not heard of him for some time, it was very sad to watch the Horizon programme some four or five years ago about his struggles.

RIP

There was a tv programme about his Bi-polar condition a few years back and life looked a real struggle. Not just for him but his partner.

I worked on that! He was nice (Slattery, and your friend probably).
