RIP Sean Lock

Awful news, he was a very funny guy.

Jeez! 🙁

Very sad news.

Bloody hell. Had no idea he was ill.
That’s a great loss – he just had a style I really found warming.
RIP

Generally don’t find celebrity deaths upsetting but this is a shame. Really funny guy.

About a year ago he did not seem well as his voice was a little weak but he seemed to improve.
RIP – funny man.

Such a great dry humour.

#fuckcancer

Nooooooooooo! Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy! Noooooooooooooo! AAAAhhhhhhhhhh!

No way! I didn’t realise he was ill. A really funny guy and always made us laugh, a very sad loss. RIP Sean

Loved him on cats does countdown, incredibly funny and dry humour. #fuckcancer indeed.

Really enjoyed 15 Storeys High when it was on. Just looked it up and that was almost 20 years ago.

Gutted. Saw him live many moons ago in Brighton, absolutely hilarious then and his TV work was always gold.

Gutted, 8 out of 10 cats isn’t the same when he’s not on it

Really very sad. A massive loss to comedy and life in general. Cancer can do one.
His performances on 8 out of 10 cats were always great.

Nooooooooooo! Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy! Noooooooooooooo! AAAAhhhhhhhhhh!

I see what you did there.

This is really sad, I knew he had been ill over recent years. I’ve always liked him, his early days on 8 out of 10 cats are brilliant.

Saw him live many moons ago

Likewise I used to often see him on the London circuit when he was on the rise, loved his dry & absurd take on stand-up.

🙁

58 is no age. really sad, really funny bloke. 😢

“Well Jimmy…”

His abattoir love letters thing was a thing of wonder.

RIP Sean.

He’s not wrong, Nazi Island would be ace show…

RIP Sean

Absolutely gutted, loved him on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. One of my favourite clips posted above, however when he and Miles Jupp were on together, especially the ‘try it without a spit’ were some of my favourite comedy moments

Nooooooooooo! Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy! Noooooooooooooo! AAAAhhhhhhhhhh!

This 👆

Also 😂

That’s very sad news indeed. I’ll raise a can of cooking lager to him tonight.

He’s not wrong, Nazi Island would be ace show…

As someone put in the YouTube comments, he should have called it Isle Hitler

Sad News
Saw him about 18months ago he was sitting in chair opposite me doing a drugs trial, the next time I saw him he was looking old

“Well that’s a challenging ****” is the quote of the century.

Yeah, sad day. Saw him live many years ago and 15 Stories High remains a firm favourite. Often had me in tears on Countdown.

Cancer can certainly do one.

One of my favourite clips

Very funny guy gone much too young The world just got a little bit drearier.

Such a likeable, funny bloke. One of the few comics who regularly had me laughing out loud, especially on 8 out 10. It won’t be the same without him.

If you haven’t seen his sitcom ‘fifteen storeys high’ I urge you to seek it out. It is outstanding and a mystery why it isn’t well know.

The episode’Blue Rat’ is so well written.

he was a top lad.

It’s what Sean wanted, let’s get it done. RIP Sean

If you haven’t seen his sitcom ‘fifteen storeys high’ I urge you to seek it out. It is outstanding and a mystery why it isn’t well know.

It was easy to miss when it was aired (seem to remember it being on at around 11pm and not well advertised) and all pre streaming days. Not even sure where I could watch it now, it is not on iPLayer.

Add ’15 minutes of misery’ to your list too. The audio precursor to 15 stories high. Available from podcast sites

Simon Munnery talked about joke he may or may not have written. Seems appropriate now. “Went to a funeral recently… Caught the reef”

Found all the episodes on YouTube

Not since Bowie’s death a celebrity’s death taken me aback so much. 😢
Saw him at what was Bristol Colston hall about 10 years ago. He started with a rant about charity collectors on the street, his name for them was chunts. Later in the set he announced he was a Chelsea supporter, immediately someone in the audience shout ‘CHUNT!’. The place erupted 🤣

RIP – Loved this chap on 8 out of 10 a really funny guy.

Really sad news. Top comedian. RIP.

This, from Harry’ Hill’s piece in the Guardian:

He took his illness in typically dry style. I heard he was in a hospice for a bit of a rest. I called him up. “Wow!” I said. “A hospice, what’s that like?” “It’s OK,” he said “… and the sex is amazing.”
