He comes back about 20…

After being a pop star in his 20s (as keyboard player in the Communards with Jimmy Somerville), Richard Coles became an Anglican vicar and then a broadcaster (notably as a co-presenter for 12 years on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live).

He lives in East Sussex with his two dachshunds Pongo and…

When he started to write The Performer, says Richard Sennett, “a cluster of demagogues had come to dominate the public realm”. Figures such as Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are skilled at “malign performances” that draw on a wide range of theatrical devices and materials.

I really thought Richard Lewis had 10 more years left to live. Even after four back surgeries and a Parkinson’s diagnosis, my friend and fellow comedian of 51 years was still so vibrant and full of life I never expected Wednesday’s news “from hell.” How many comedians actually impact the lexicon and become part of people’s everyday language? Richard, credited with coining “from hell” in the Yale Book of Quotations also brought “quite frankly” into everyday (over)use as a placeholder at the end of sentences, which shows…
