The John Fleming extended interview
Malcolm Hardee was a true original. A performer, a manager and a convicted car thief, he was one of the UK's very first alternative comedians. He died suddenly in January 2005 - whilst still in his 50's. For his one hundredth interview for Broadway Baby, Martin Walker talks to John Fleming about The Edinburgh Fringe, performing with Kate Copstick and keeping Malcolm's legacy alive.
