When a drunk Malcolm Hardee fell to his death in the Thames in 2005 the ripples were felt throughout the comedy community. Local hero, entrepreneur, compere and criminal, Malcolm is often hailed as the unsung 'Godfather of alternative comedy'. His clubs in South East London are remembered as the 'alternative of the alternative', a place where Britain's best-loved live acts earned their stripes facing the hardest crowds ever known. And where Malcolm would usually get his knob out. Friends and family tell his story: Arthur Smith, Jools Holland, Mark Lamarr, Vic Reeves. And his mum.
