Sean Lock is dead!

[Mydogisagentleman]

Just heard it on the radio. It knocked me for six.
He was only 59. One of the funniest men on telly and radio.
RIP Sean

That’s gutting. Such a funny man and 58 is no age.

Such a funny man, I used to enjoy 8 out of 10 cats. Think I might watch a rerun, he made the show funny.
How sad.

Terrible news ..thoughts with his family and friends who must be devastated RIP Sean gone way too soon xxx

Oh my god, how awful. I had no idea he had cancer. I used to be a big fan, went to gigs, his sitcom was great. Sympathies to his family and friends.

Oh how gutting.

He was so genuinely funny, even when he wasnt trying to be.

That is shocking. No age at all. He was so funny and talented. RIP Sean Lock.

@SundaySheAteChocolate - Sorry, I am not being respectful - very sad when anyone that young dies, but I genuinely have never heard of him.

How have people never heard of him? He turns up everywhere he's on several times a night on repeats and live tv, I'm not buying that you've never seen a TV showing adverts for his shows at some point in your life

@PurpleVerbena well maybe just move on then or go and Google. No need to announce that you have never heard of him.

This is really upsetting. He was my favourite.

I hadn't realised he was ill, so was so shocked.

Very sad. Excellent comedian. I imagine they might do some sort of tribute. It would be fitting.

oh no!
he was such a funny & talented dude.

my favourite joke of his was is: "Did you know that sharks will only attack you if you are wet?" 🤣 on of the best opening lines ever.

RIP Sean, much love to your family, friends and all who'll miss you

RIP. A big favourite of mine. I had no idea he was ill. Genuinely sad to read the news today.

RIP and thoughts for his family and friends as they mourn.

Did he get to National Treasure status?

If it's up to me, yes - definitely
He was so funny and seemed like a genuinely nice man.
So many of the tributes have said how lovely he was.
Many "celeb" deaths don't really affect me but this one has
(possibly because he's a year younger than me, so feels far too young to die)

Loved his humour - really made me laugh over the years.

Sounds like he was a very private man off the camera and kept his family & private life out of the media spotlight. Similar to Victoria Wood - another devastating day for me when she passed away too.

Saw him live twice, definitely one of my favourites and also loved him on Cats. Very sad news

Really sad news. His poor family.

He was hilarious such a funny and clever man. Very sad news.

Oh that is sad - he always came across as being a really nice person as well as very funny. Heartbreaking for his family and friends.

He did an episode of the Lockdown Parenting podcast and came across as a really lovely, kind, funny guy who cleared adored his family
What an awful loss for them all

Rip Sean

Really sad news. Saw him live about 10 years ago and he was brilliant, so witty and smart. RIP Sean you will be missed.

So sad. Fantastic sense of humour - and his style of delivery was just perfect.

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba - that shark joke was hilarious!
