Slattery
A collection of lost photographs have been found by a group of volunteers working alongside Leicester Comedy Festival. The group, who meet each month to archive and catalogue digital photos collected since the festival began in 1994, have discovered images previously thought lost. The images, all taken at Leicester Comedy Festival, include pictures of Alan Carr, Chris McCausland, Nicholas Parsons (pictured at Leicester Cathedral), Johnny Vegas (pictured in 1997 at the Y Theatre) )and festival patron Tony Slattery
A Crowdfunder campaign to pay for Tony Slattery's funeral has quickly reached its target.
The fund was started to help Tony's partner Mark Hutchinson with the arrangements. Slattery's death was so unexpected there were no plans for a funeral. The aim was to raise £8000 and at the moment the total stands at £12,786.
The Crowdfunder page says: "Because Tony was only just getting back to work, and because his passing was so unexpected, there wasn't a Plan B in place.
Comedian and actor Tony Slattery has died.
His partner broke the news and said that Slattery, who was 65, had a heart attack.
Slattery, one of the Cambridge Footlights troupe that won the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1981, which also included Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson, was best known for his quickfire improvisations on Whose Line Is It Anyway?
