‘You go out there and have a fucking good life!’ Rik Mayall’s speech to graduating students
VIDEO: Watch the late Blackadder and Young Ones star’s inspiring words as he receives his doctorate
Comedy legend Rik Mayall’s funeral is today.
Relive one of his finest moments – his 2008 speech to graduating students as he received his honorary Doctorate from the University of Exeter.
And as a bonus, here’s a letter Rik sent to a Huddersfield student full of invaluable advice on how to become a comedy writer, signed “With Love and Violence, Lenny Henry”.
RIP Rik.
