[kittyP]

Oh fuck

Genuinely really funny man

 

[purves grundy]

you know whats its like when you've had a few and you accidentally leave the pub with something. beer glass, ashtray... well i've got your plough.

Best episode in Series 2 without a doubt.

 

[WouldBe]

Same age as me.

RIP Sean.

 

[Epona]

Tragic

 

[8ball]

Saw him a few times, including what I guess was a pretty early gig back in the 90s when I was a student.

RIP, fella.

 

[polly]

Really sad about this. I saw him years ago at one of those studio audience bums on seats things at the BBC. Something technical went wrong and he had to ad lib for ages. He was lovely, so engaging and kind, and really funny. So young Fuck cancer.

 

[Maggot]

This is so sad. He was such a funny guy. Definitely gonna watch 15 Storeys High tonight in memory.

The first episode is on Youtube

Never thought about it before, but he was a kind of 'surrealist misanthrope'. What Jack Dee would have been like if he was 80% funnier. A joyful misanthrope too. RIP.

I remember seeing him a few times at The Greyhound in Sydenham and in Up The Creek. Alan Davies and Sean Hughes were often on the bill , maybe late 80's early 90's. It was a good time for local stand up anyway, but he stood out even then, so quick. Sad news.

I'm saddened by Sean Lock's death, but being reminded of my early 80's local is always cheering.
Even back then i was a brown beer snob, but my flat-mate persuaded me of the merits of Lowenbrau (in quantity).
Before the comedy time, mind you.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

This is a real shock, and a real loss. And he had such a great sense of humour.

 

[aqua]

I'm gutted about this. Really loved him. RIP

Number 4 made me splutter and cackle. Loudly apparently as people were looking at me funny on the beach

 

[weltweit]

Shocked and saddened .. RIP Sean Lock - not something I expected to say for many many years.

 

[Badgers]

...and in the words of Sean Lock:

How do you stop a dog from humping your leg? Pick him up and suck his cock

[stdP]

I genuinely thought this was a wind-up when word got round at work I've been a fan of Sean Lock since I first heard him on the Mark'n'Lard show back in '94 or so; one of those utterly innate comedians who could always wrangle fun from every conceivable source in a uniquely dry fashion; a tragic loss for British comedy. RIP Sean.

Harry Hill on Sean Lock: ‘The comedian’s comedian who took us all by surprise’

Sean’s crazily funny gags reminded me why I got into comedy – his dry humour was always balanced with his wide-eyed wonder at the world

[fizzerbird]

I didn't even know he was ill...RIP

One of my fav observational comedians.

 

[redsquirrel]

Very sad news. I absolutely adored 15 Storeys High, and the radio version it was based on.

RIP

Yeah the TV was decent but the radio version was absolutely great. Really sad to hear this, no age these days really either

 

[ska invita]

t he stood out even then, so quick. Sad news.

yeah so quick...I think only Lee Mack a tenth of a second faster. I didn't really like his stand up show, i think he's one of those rare comedians who was funniest just being himself rather than with pre-planned material - a total natural.

Funny of course, but this tweet is all about Morgan. Seeking pop culture relevance.

I don't suppose Sean wanted this to happen because, as he said himself "This might be a surprise to you, but I'm doing jokes".

 

[NoXion]

I just now saw the thread on Reddit, came here to confirm. Like many others I did not even know that he was ill. Terrible news, I've not seen his stand-up but his presence on the panel shows was never a dull one. Too young and fuck cancer.

 

[hitmouse]

Yeah, I never really watched his panel shows, but had been thinking about rewatching 15 Stories High one of these days, might prioritise that now. That episode where one of them accidentally gets stoned in a lift has stuck with me for years, for some reason.

 

[butcher]

What a shame.

Brilliant natural talent, you only get a few that good in a generation.

 

[Wilf]

Never saw 15 storey's high and I could rarely watch more than a few minutes of 8/10 cats as it had jimmy carr in it. Somehow I still had a sense of how good he was.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Heard about Sean's passing this morning. It's very, very sad as he was very, very funny and, one of the good guys.

Saw him in Lancaster a few years back at the Aston Hall which has a huge 25ft tall concert pipe organ at the back of the stage.
He walked on to applause and said through gritted teeth "I'm really fucking annoyed with this...I ordered a drum kit."

RIP and fuck cancer

I'm feeling this all the more today as I'm off to have some odd lesions checked out tomorrow morning
