A lot of you folks Stateside might not have heard of UK comedian Sean Lock. I only became aware of him from tv shows like Eight Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown, which is a bizarre comedy series where a bunch of comedians do a boring gameshow popular with the elderly. Sean was a regular on that show and just incredibly witty. He had the most unexpected take on pretty much everything and came across as a helluva nice bloke too. Well I was saddened yesterday to learn that he had succumbed to lung cancer - he was only a year older than me. It's so sad.
Sean Lock was one of the funniest since people like Spike Milligan and Peter Cook. If you haven't heard of him check out Cats Does Countdown - it's nuts. Lots of it is available on Youtube, which is where I first stumbled across it. Jimmy Carr is the host. But it won't be the same without Sean.
