Sean lock. Always thought he was good on 8 out of 10 cats.

Ah I'm sad to hear that. He was really of the wall but I liked him. Hadn't realised he was ill.

Sean lock. Always thought he was good on 8 out of 10 cats.

That's really sad, I've seen him live on a number of occasions and he was very good. RIP

[Capt Pat]

Sad to hear about Sean Lock, he was still relatively young at 58. I didn't know he was ill.

Cancer is a ****.

Sad, was a good laugh

Very sad news about Sean Lock. A huge favourite of mine, first came across him 20 odd years ago with 15 Storeys High and loved him ever since, his stand up was first class. While he's always been very funny on Cats & Countdown, I was always sort of waiting on him to do something better as I thought it was beneath him! RIP Sean. Cancer really is a ****.

He was one of those likeable guys where you just know he was genuinely funny without having to work too hard at it. Always understated, and didn't go for the obvious cheap laughs as much as some of them. Cancer really is a c**t.

[Armamike]

Very sad and surprised to hear this news. Apparently he was Irish background with parents from Armagh.

[StPatsAbu]

Very witty guy. Did well to suppress any strain of dour Armagh blood he had in him in fairness.

[Armamike]

He was a bit more upbeat than Kevin McAleer anyway 

[Capt Pat]

Don Everly of the Everly Brothers at age 84.
