Ground-breakingly brilliant, off-the-register funny, compassionate and caring - Jack DeeA glorious friend and a mischievous comedian - a clown and a commentator all at once - Mark SteelJeremy Hardy was a one-off. Part genius, part naughty school boy . . . there was no one to match him for his brilliant understanding, his satire and his straightforward ability to make us sob with laughter. How many evenings he made he radio theatre rock with delight. - Sandi ToksvigJeremy Hardy was so special and brilliant and mischievous, a miracle of a person. - Victoria Coren-MitchellUnfussy, unshowy, principled, self-deprecating, hugely loved and admired by his fellow comedians, and funnier than the lot of us put together. A unique comedian and a lovely man. - Rory Bremner
