A graduate and former president of Cambridge Footlights, where he was a contemporary
with Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson, Tony was known and loved for his
appearances on comedy improvisation show Whose Line Is It Anyway? as well as many
other TV series and films. He had recently been touring a comedy show in England and
launched a podcast, Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, in October.

One of five siblings, Tony had previously lost a sister to cancer and one of his brothers to a
heart attack only last year.

Interviewer and producer of his latest shows, Erica Lear, said today, “I will miss my
mischievous partner in crime.  They say you should never meet your heroes, but I met
mine and he became my best friend”.

Tony is survived by his longtime partner, actor Mark Michael Hutchinson, and Molly, a
ferocious cat.  
Tony Slattery, Born November 9, 1959, died January 14, 2025.
