Not being reported on the BBC, but multiple news outlets are reporting the death of the comedian John Session.

Awful. Awful year

It's really hard to shake the feeling that God is slowly gathering His Own to his bosom, which isn't a great advert for what is about to come ....

RIP - glad I was able to catch him in "Napoleon" in the late 80s. An improvisational tour-de-force.

A real shame - I liked him very much in all kinds of things and Stella Street was marvellous.

Heart condition. Aged 67. BBC are reporting now.

Very sad news. Condolences to his loved ones.

@DGRossetti - I saw that play and remember how absolutely brilliant it was.

RIP John Sessions, I loved you in Porterhouse Blue.

Oh no. Not old enough!

Somewhere, the BBC is sitting on a series from the early 90s of six half hour shows Sessions gave to a live audience - as I recall purely improvised.

There should also somewhere be a recording of "Napoleon" - since I recall watching it with a brilliant riff on a kazoo being "Das Boot" and Sessions doing voices from inside.

I have to correct my PP - it was actually "Napoleon - The American Story" that I saw. Which was a follow on. Had the sublimely brilliant routine of Robert De Niro discovering the joy of panto ("From now on, it's Bobby de Niro ...)

Plus the sheer genius in "Whose Line Is It Anyway ?"

Just shows how multi-dimensional people can be, doesn't it? A 'remarkable comedian' in support of Nigel Farage...

Ah no that is sad if true! Stella Street was the most brilliant series, I loved it so much. I will still watch it now when in need of cheering up.

His episode of Mooneboy was my favourite. RIP.

He was an extraordinarily talented man as well as being very funny.

He will be missed.

Gosh. Was he even 60 yet?

RIP.

Gosh. Was he even 60 yet?

RIP.

Surprisingly, 67. But still no age.

Ah feck. What an absolute bummer.

Yes, that’s much too young.

Sadly the link below that one said luis troyano (hopefully spelled right) has also died, he was on gbbo, runner up to nancy in 2014.

Very sad news.

He lived in my area, l saw him on the bus a few times before the first lockdown. I thought he was looking a bit old but then realised so did I (he was about 5 years older than me). I guess I still had a picture in my mind of him during his Whose line is it anyway? days.

RIP John Sessions - a multi talented man.

Very sad news. A very talented man

Oh no. I have muddled him up with someone else. I will ask MN to remove my post.

So young :( mick and keefs shop

Tall Tales was one of the first shows I saw. Major talent.

I loved Whose Line is it Anyway? Very gifted.

Really upset I liked him a lot, lost a lot of celebs this year.
