Actors and comedians have paid tribute to the “bonkers and brilliant” Rik Mayall, who has died at the age of 56.
The Essex-born actor and comedian, known for his roles in alternative comedy shows such as The Young Ones, Bottom and The New Statesman, died in his London home on Monday, his agent confirmed.
The cause of death has not yet been disclosed though Scotland Yard said it was not believed to be suspicious.
