Maggie Fox, who has died aged 65 after an accident, was an actor of comic genius who had television roles in Coronation Street, Shameless and The Forsyte Saga but who will be best remembered as one half (“the tall one”) of the award-winning comedy duo LipService Theatre.
She and her onstage partner, Sue Ryding, wrote and performed more than 22 original comedy shows from a distinctly female perspective over nearly 40 years – and toured them to scores of theatres throughout Britain and to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Pakistan and the US.
