Cousin Ricky Peardon died today. He was the first comedian to take me on the road, and is without question the funniest man that has ever lived. While I do not have the emotional bandwidth to eulogize him further (though I will later) his passing has made me reflect on what the culture of comedy was like when I started…. So naturally I ranted into my microphone whilst strolling thru the park so you could hear what’s on my mind!
All hail the Traveler, he will live forever in your hearts. My condolences on the loss of your buddy.
This week's WellRed was so great, it was so nice to hear you guys talk about your friend.
Also great was hearing you all talk about back in the day in the comedy clubs. A behind the scenes trip for those of us who are only out front.
Found a couple of Cousin Ricky Peardon's clips on youtube. A loss of a amazing talent. https://www.youtube.com/@CousinRickyPeardon/videos
So sorry that these reflections had to come with the loss of a person that was dear to you. Hope that memorializing him will bring you all comfort.
You have my sincere sympathy.
So sorry for your loss, my online friend!
